This invention is provided with: a camera (10) for capturing the image of a travel path; an edge point extraction unit (32) for extracting edge points on the basis of the brightness of an image captured by the camera (10); a candidate line extraction unit (33) for extracting, on the basis of the succession of the extracted edge points, a candidate line for a boundary line demarcating the travel path; a frequency calculation unit (34) for calculating, on the basis of edge points belonging to the candidate line extracted by the candidate line extraction unit (33), the frequency distribution of the edge points for a parameter that specifies the width of the boundary line; a probability generation unit (35) for calculating, on the basis of the frequency distribution calculated by the frequency calculation unit (34), the distribution for the probability that the candidate line at the parameter is the boundary line; and a boundary line recognition unit (37) for recognizing the boundary line on the basis of the probability distribution calculated by the probability generation unit (35). |
