The invention relates to an illegal parking detection and identification method based on a monitoring spherical camera. The illegal parking detection and identification method is characterized in that the spherical camera is provided, a video head capable of rotating 360 degrees is installed on the spherical camera, and a first video detection region and more than one second video detection region are set in the shooting range of the video head. The method comprises the steps of: automatically jumping to the second video detection regions for analysis after the analysis of the first video detection region is finished, and then automatically jumping to the first video detection region after the detection of the second video detection region is finished, wherein the first video detection region and the second video detection region form an enclosed cycle link, and the analysis methods of the first video detection region and the second video detection region are identical. The illegal parking detection and identification method has the advantages that vehicles in an illegal parking management area are automatically detected in 360 degrees, the information of illegal vehicles is automatically identified, an identification result is automatically output, manual operation and management are not needed, multiple images of a video flow are analyzed, the analysis is continuous and reliable, and the identification result is accurate.
