The invention relates to the technical field of 
video monitoring and discloses a method and a 
system for video driving intelligent 
perception and facing a safe city. The method includes the following specific steps: reading and 
processing monitored video images, conducting 
pedestrian detection on the processed video images, conducting face identification on the detected pedestrians, judging whether the faces are that of criminals wanted on 
the Internet for arrest and those causing society security 
instability potentially, conducting behavior detection of the detected pedestrians, judging whether abnormal behaviors exist or not, conducting abnormal gesture detection on the detected pedestrians, conducting 
sight tracking on personnel with abnormal gestures and finally conducting object leaving detection. The 
system formed and designed on the basis of the method includes a video collection module, an intelligent 
perception module and a decision alarming module. The method and the 
system utilize a computer to assist users to conduct real-time monitoring and management, adopt an intelligent 
software platform, automatically analyze potential hidden hazards and alarm, and are capable of dealing with problems before the problems happen.
