Abstract
A demarcation line candidate recognizing unit recognizes demarcation line candidates which are candidates for a pair of right and left demarcation lines demarcating a lane based on edge points having predetermined continuity in an image captured by a camera. A demarcation line candidate modifying unit excludes edge points whose corresponding positions in a real space are a predetermined distance or more away from the camera in the case where parallelism between the pair of right and left demarcation line candidates recognized by the demarcation line candidate recognizing unit is equal to or less than a predetermined level and re-recognizes the pair of right and left demarcation line candidates based on the edge points having predetermined continuity among the edge points which have not been excluded.
