The invention discloses a pedestrian hybrid search method and system in a video monitoring scene, and belongs to the field of video content search. The method comprises the following steps: carrying out the video decoding to obtain a frame image; respectively carrying out face target detection and pedestrian target detection on the frame image to respectively obtain a face snapshot and a pedestrian snapshot of a pedestrian target; recognizing face snapshots and pedestrian snapshots belonging to the same pedestrian target in the same frame, and associating the face snapshots and the pedestriansnapshots together; extracting face features according to the face snapshots, extracting pedestrian re-recognition features according to the pedestrian snapshots, and matching the pedestrian targets in the current frame with the pedestrian targets in the processed frame images through feature matching so as to obtain tracks of the same pedestrian target; and storing the pedestrian target ID and the face snapshot, the pedestrian snapshot, the face feature, the pedestrian re-recognition feature and the track information of the pedestrian target into a database to obtain a search database. According to the method, multi-angle feature description of the pedestrian target can be provided, and reliable support is provided for application.
