An image-based road cone recognition method, apparatus, storage medium, and vehicle. Said method comprises: acquiring, during vehicle driving, an image of an object to be recognized; performing differential processing of the image, so as to acquire an image on which the differential processing has been performed, and performing, according to a preset threshold, ternary processing of the image on which the differential processing has been performed, so as to acquire a ternary image comprising forward boundary pixels and negative boundary pixels; acquiring, according to the forward boundary pixels and the negative boundary pixels, a forward straight line segment and a negative straight line segment which represent the trend of the boundaries of the object to be recognized; when position information of the forward and negative straight line segments matches boundary position information of a known road cone, determining that the object to be recognized is a road cone.
