Abstract
An information processing device has a processor configured to detect a vanishing point where two lane marking lines in a front image representing environment ahead of a vehicle intersect, to detect a moving direction of the vehicle from a predetermined reference location to the vanishing point in the front image, to determine whether or not each of two moving directions has a different orientation in excess of a predetermined reference range with respect to the previously detected moving direction when the two moving directions have been detected, and to determine that a branching road that branches from a road in which the vehicle is traveling has appeared in the front image, when it has been determined that either of the two moving directions has a different orientation.
