Abstract:
A cruising lane recognition device is mounted on a vehicle. The device includes a camera, a storing unit, and a processor. The camera captures an image of an area including the road ahead of the vehicle. The processor is configured to detect luminances within the images, recognize a cruising lane-marker of the road in the images on the basis of the luminances which are detected, a store, in the storing unit, a position of the cruising lane-marker that is recognized, detect that the vehicle is in a tunnel, and set a virtual cruising lane-marker on the basis of an archival record of the position of a cruising lane-marker which has been stored in the storing unit when the cruising lane-marker cannot be recognized and the vehicle has been detected to exist in a tunnel.
