Abstract
A lane mark recognition apparatus includes an image capturing means () which captures a color image (IM) of a road via a color video camera (), a specific-color-extracted image generating means () which generates a luminance-extracted image (IM) obtained by extracting white-color data from the color image (IM) and a yellow-color-extracted image (IM) obtained by extracting yellow-color data from the color image (IM), and a lane mark detection means () which detects a white line and a yellow line from a composite image (IM_C) formed from the luminance-extracted image (IM) and the yellow-color-extracted image (IM) and outputs position data (Pd) of the white line and position data (Pd) of the yellow line.
