1. A running-environment recognition apparatus comprising:
an information recognition section mounted in a vehicle and configured to recognize an information of at least a frontward region of the vehicle relative to a traveling direction of the vehicle; and a road-surface calculating section configured
to calculate a road surface of a traveling road and a portion lower than the road surface in the frontward region of the vehicle, from the information recognized by the information recognition section, the information comprising a plurality of first visually-characteristic points existing in the road surface and a plurality of second visually-characteristic points existing in the portion lower than the road surface, andto recognize a boundary portion between the plurality of first visually-characteristic points and the plurality of second visually-characteristic points as a boundary portion between the road surface and the portion lower than the surface,wherein the recognized boundary portion is an end of the traveling road. |
