The invention provides a following control method and device of a cleaning
robot, a medium and
electronic equipment, and the method comprises the steps: generating a
human body detection frame covering a complete
human body of a to-be-recognized
object based on a visible part geometric point of the to-be-recognized object; calculating the similarity between the current visual feature and a pre-stored historical visual feature of the current following target; determining a motion state of the to-be-identified object, and verifying whether the motion state meets a preset motion constraint condition; when the similarity and the motion state
verification result meet a preset fusion confirmation condition, generating an identity confirmation
signal; responding to the identity confirmation
signal, and controlling the cleaning
robot to continuously execute the following task; and based on the
human body detection frame, controlling the cleaning
robot and the to-be-recognized object to maintain a preset following distance. According to the method and the device, the technical problem that the cleaning robot easily loses or follows a wrong person due to inaccurate identification caused by incomplete visual information when the following target is partially shielded at this time is solved.
