The invention discloses a suspicious target detection tracking and recognition method based on dual-camera cooperation, and belongs to the technical field of video image processing. The method comprises the steps that a panoramic surveillance camera is utilized for collecting a panoramic image, the improved Gaussian mixture modeling method is adopted for carrying out foreground detection, basic parameters of moving targets are extracted, a Kalman filter is utilized for estimating a movement locus of a specific target, the specific target is recognized according to velocity analysis, the dual-camera cooperation strategy is adopted, a feature tracking camera is controlled to carry out feature tracking on the moving targets, a suspicious target is locked, the face of the suspicious target is detected, face recognition is carried out, face data are compared with a database, and an alarm is given if abnormities exist. According to the suspicious target detection tracking and recognition method, the dual-camera cooperation tracking surveillance strategy is adopted, defects of a single surveillance camera on a specific scene are overcome, and the added face recognition function can assist workers in identifying the specific target to a greater degree; in addition, the tracking algorithm adopted in the method is good in real-time performance, target recognition and judgment standards are simple and reliable, and the operation process is fast and accurate.
