Abstract
According to one embodiment, by way of example, a vehicle control device includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire map data indicating an absolute azimuth of a linear road surface sign disposed on a road surface on which a vehicle travels, and image data obtained by imaging surroundings of the vehicle with a vehicle-mounted camera included in the vehicle; and a correction unit configured to detect the road surface sign from the acquired image data, calculate a relative azimuth of the road surface sign with respect to the vehicle on the image data, calculate a shift of an azimuth in which the vehicle moves based on the calculated relative azimuth and the absolute azimuth of the detected road surface sign indicated by the map data, and correct the azimuth in which the vehicle moves based on the calculated shift.
