Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for determining a target rotation direction. Said method for determining the target rotation direction comprises: inputting successive video frames which comprise a rotation target; establishing a background model for the first image frame in said video frames; performing foreground detection on the video frames other than the first frame by means of said background model so as to determine the rotation axis of said rotation target; obtaining the distribution of optical flow points within a preset region of said rotation axis; determining the direction of rotation of said rotation target according to the distribution of optical flow points within said preset region. By means of the present disclosure, it is possible to simply and efficiently determine the clock direction of a rotation target in a video.
