PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a lane marker recognizing apparatus for improving the precision of recognizing stud-type lane makers discretely installed on a road. SOLUTION: The lane marker recognizing apparatus 1, which recognizes stud-type lane markers discretely installed on a road from a road image, is provided with: a candidate region extracting means 12 for extracting a region having the possibility of being the image portion of the lane marker from the road image as a lane marker candidate region; a real space representative point calculating means 13 for determining the representative point of each lane marker candidate region according to predetermined conditions, and calculating a real space position corresponding to the representative point as a real space representative point; a grouping means 14 for forming one group of the real space candidate points having a relative distance within a predetermined range set according to standards on the lane marker; and a lane marker position recognizing means 17 for recognizing the position of the lane marker based on the real space representative point formed into one group by the grouping means 14.
