A method, device, apparatus and a computer-readable storage medium for detecting a height of an obstacle are provided. The method can include: acquiring observation data of a plurality of reference obstacles from a frame; according to the observation data of each of the reference obstacles, fitting a function F: Z=F(ymax), wherein the observation data of a reference obstacle comprises a longitudinal coordinate of a bottom of the reference obstacle in the frame, and a distance between the reference obstacle and a camera capturing the frame; and determining a distance between the obstacle to be detected and the camera, according to the longitudinal coordinate of the bottom of the obstacle in the frame and the function F; and determining an evaluation value of the height of the obstacle to be detected according to the distance between the obstacle to be detected and the camera.
