Abstract
A parking assistance device includes: a marking line detector that detects a plurality of marking lines delineating a parking area from an image taken by an imaging unit; a second determiner that determines whether or not the type of parking for parking a vehicle in a parkable area is angle parking, on the basis of the angle obtained between a parking baseline joining the endpoints on the vehicle side of the detected plurality of marking lines and the plurality of marking lines, or the angle obtained between the parking baseline and one marking line selected from among the plurality of marking lines; and a parking position setter that, in the case where the second determiner determines that the type of parking corresponds to angle parking, sets a parking position inside the parkable area in which to park the vehicle, on the basis of the parking baseline.
