1. A video coding method performed by a computer device, the method comprising:
obtaining a current coding unit;
obtaining target pixel gradient data through calculation according to a pixel value of a pixel in the current coding unit, the target pixel gradient data including both global gradient data and local gradient data of the current coding unit, the global gradient data being obtained according to a difference between the pixel value of the pixel and an average pixel value of the current coding unit as a reference pixel value, and the local gradient data being obtained according to a difference between the pixel value of the pixel and a pixel value of another pixel adjacent the pixel as the reference pixel value;
determining a target division decision result corresponding to the current coding unit according to both the global gradient data and the local gradient data of the target pixel gradient data; and
performing video coding on the current coding unit according to the target division decision result.
