The invention discloses an intelligent monitoring video processing method which comprises the following steps: (1) video preprocessing: converting a video into a static image, then filtering noisy points in the video image, and meanwhile, carrying out offset adjustment on the data of the whole image, so that the pixel gray scale distribution is uniform; (2) foreground extraction: carrying out background reconstruction by utilizing a static empty scene image, then adding a system space identifier according to a preset region, carrying out background subtraction on a new image, and extracting apixel region with relatively large difference as an activity foreground; (3) behavior tracking: carrying out convolution processing on the extracted activity foreground, and taking a foreground contour; extracting feature points, and recording a movement track; and (4) result analysis: analyzing a final result, and correspondingly storing various types of data according to various service requirements so as to meet various service function requirements. The method disclosed by the invention can assist safety personnel to deal with crisis more quickly and effectively, and the phenomena of falsealarm and missing alarm are reduced to the maximum extent.
