Abstract
A parking assistance device includes: a candidate line detection unit that detects a candidate line that is a candidate for a boundary line in image data obtained by imaging a periphery of a vehicle; and a boundary line recognition unit that executes a determination process to determine whether or not a difference in luminance between areas on an outside of the candidate line in a width direction in the image data, the areas being on both sides of the candidate line, is equal to or larger than a luminance threshold, does not recognize the candidate line as a boundary line when determining that the difference in luminance is equal to or larger than the luminance threshold, and recognizes the candidate line as a boundary line when determining that the difference in luminance is less than the luminance threshold.
