The disclosure provides an object detection method and apparatus based on a Dynamic Vision Sensor (DVS). The method includes the following operations of: acquiring a plurality of image frames by a DVS; and, detecting the image frames by a recurrent coherent network to acquire a candidate box for objects to be detected, wherein the recurrent coherent network comprising a frame detection network model and a candidate graph model. By using a new recurrent coherent detection network, a bounding box for an object to be detected is fast detected from the data acquired by a DVS. The detection speed is improved greatly while ensuring the detection accuracy.
