The invention discloses a video static picture detection method, a video static picture detection terminal and a computer readable storage medium, and the method comprises the steps: obtaining a reference frame picture from a video, and obtaining a picture set comprising n frames of pictures from the back of the reference frame picture according to a playing sequence; sequentially judging whetherthe first n-1 frames of pictures in a currently acquired picture set meet the brightness requirement of a preset static picture or not; judging whether the nth frame of picture in the picture set meets a preset gray histogram judgment condition or not; and finally, judging whether a stop condition is met or not according to the reference frame picture and the nth frame picture in the currently obtained picture set; and when all the judgment results are yes, determining that a video picture formed by all the frames from the reference frame to the nth frame in the currently acquired picture setis a static picture. The technical problems that in the prior art, when whether an input picture is a static picture or not is judged, the accuracy is low, and the calculated amount is large are solved.
