Abstract: A lighting effect control method includes: obtaining a video frame image sequence by dividing frames of a to-be-tested video stream; sequentially acquiring one of untraversed video frame images in the video frame image sequence as a testing video frame image; according to a recognition result of the testing video frame image, determining that there is at least one target virtual object in the testing video frame image, and determining state information of the target virtual object in the testing video frame image, wherein the recognition result of the testing video frame image is obtained by performing an image recognition process on the testing video frame image; and controlling the lighting effect of a lighting device based on the state information.
