LANE RECOGNITION DEVICE AND METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lane recognition device for detecting a lane with high precision for supporting a driving operation.

SOLUTION: The lane recognition device includes a visibility obtaining part 14 for obtaining the visibility of a marker for lane recognition set on a traveling path based on a pickup image picked up by an image pickup part 11 which picks up a traveling path; and a road shape calculation part 13 for setting an image processing region for the pickup image at a remote side from the vehicle when the visibility grasped by the visibility obtaining part 14 is high. In the post-stage, the lane is recognized by using an image (road shape) included in the image processing region set by an image region setting part 12.
