Abstract
A traffic signal recognition method and a traffic signal recognition device acquire a result sequence consisting of a plurality of determination results in time-series order obtained by determining a display state of a traffic signal based on a plurality of images of a traveling direction of a vehicle, set a first threshold as a number threshold if a specific determination result which is a latest determination result among the determination results is a determination result of a permission display that allows a passage of the stop line corresponding to the traffic signal, set a second threshold smaller than the first threshold as the number threshold if the specific determination result is other than a determination result of the permission display, and output the specific determination result if a number of determination results identical to the specific determination result is greater than the number threshold.
