Abstract
Method, device, and non-transitory computer-readable medium detecting a gathering of objects based on stereo vision are disclosed, and the method comprises steps of obtaining current and prior images and a corresponding depth map; extracting foreground pixels corresponding to detection objects from the current and prior images, and projecting the foreground pixels onto a ground surface to acquire a foreground projection image including foreground projection blocks; conducting, based on image feature differences of the foreground pixels between the current and prior images, projection onto the ground surface to acquire moving foreground projection blocks; utilizing the moving foreground projection blocks to erode the foreground projection blocks to obtain still foreground projection blocks; and determining, based on the still foreground projection blocks, whether the gathering of objects exists.
