Abstract
An intersection recognition device installed in a vehicle includes an image acquisition unit that acquires images around the moving vehicle. The device includes an extraction unit that extracts, from the images acquired by the image acquisition unit, a type and a position of at least one traffic marking existing around the vehicle. The device includes a determination unit that determines whether an intersection exists based on the type of the at least one traffic marking extracted by the extraction unit and a relative position relationship between the at least one traffic marking and the vehicle.
