    Abstract: Embodiments of a surveillance method, apparatus, system, electronic device and computer-readable storage medium are provided. In the surveillance method, a non-visible light image and a target image are obtained, wherein the target image is generated from a visible light signal captured during a capture period of the non-visible light image. The method then detects whether an object is present in the non-visible light image. When an object is detected in the non-visible light image, a second location area of the object in a visible light image is determined according to a first location area of the object in the non-visible light image, such that surveillance of the object is implemented based on the visible light image, wherein the visible light image is an image determined based on the target image. Compared to the relevant art, the embodiments proposes to use the result of the object detection performed on the non-visible light image to determine the result of the object detection performed for the visible light image corresponding to the non-visible light image, which guarantees that the object detection result of the visible light image also has a high accuracy and thereby guarantees the effect of intelligent surveillance.
