    Abstract: In a boundary line recognition apparatus, based on luminance levels of an image captured by a camera, candidate edge points of a boundary line sectioning a travel road are extracted, and a candidate line of the boundary line is extracted. An apparent width of the candidate line on an image is calculated, from a width of the candidate line in a horizontal direction of the image and an angle of the candidate line relative to a vertical direction of the image. A probability of a candidate line being a boundary line is calculated to be higher, as a degree of the candidate line having characteristics as a boundary line is higher. The calculated probabilities are integrated in respect of a plurality of characteristics to recognize a boundary line. The characteristics include a ratio of the calculated apparent width to an image blur degree is larger than a predetermined value.

    Abstract: In a boundary line recognition apparatus, a boundary line candidate extracting part extracts boundary line candidates from image data obtained by an on-vehicle camera based on known image processing such as pattern matching and Hough transform. One or more kinds of boundary line feature calculating parts calculate one or more likelihoods of each boundary line candidate. The likelihood indicates a degree of probability to be the boundary line. A boundary line feature combining means multiplies the likelihoods of each boundary line candidate and outputs a combined likelihood. A boundary line candidate selecting part selects the boundary line candidate having a maximum likelihood as the boundary line. The boundary line feature calculating part further calculates the likelihood of the boundary line candidate using a dispersion of brightness and an internal edge amount, and changes the likelihood based on an additional likelihood obtained by a driving lane surface feature extracting part.

    Abstract: An apparatus for determining the presence or absence of a turnoff from a roadway. In the apparatus, a white-line candidate extractor applies image processing to an image of surroundings of a subject vehicle acquired by a vehicle-mounted camera to extract white-line candidates in the roadway. A white-line likelihood calculator calculates, for each of the white-line candidates extracted by the white-line candidate extractor, a likelihood of the white-line candidate. A white-line likelihood calculator calculates, for each of the white-line candidates extracted by the white-line candidate extractor, a likelihood of the white-line candidate. A turnoff determiner calculates a likelihood for one of a plurality of features of the white line selected by the white-line selector, and determines the presence or absence of a turnoff from the roadway based on the likelihood calculated by the turnoff determiner.

    Abstract: In a lane line recognition apparatus, an abnormality determiner is configured to determine whether or not a width of a travel lane defined by left-side and right-side lane lines is abnormal, and a lane-line recognizer is configured to, when the width of the travel lane is not abnormal, recognize both of the left-side and right-side lane lines in a both-side line recognition mode, and when the width of the travel lane is abnormal, recognize one of the lane lines in a one-side line recognition mode.

    Abstract: In a travel division line recognition apparatus, an extracting unit extracts a travel division line candidate from an image of a surrounding environment including a road, captured by an on-board camera. A calculating unit calculates a degree of reliability that the extracted travel division line candidate will be the travel division line. A recognizing unit selects the travel division line candidate based on the calculated degree of reliability, and recognizes the travel division line using the selected travel division line candidate. In the calculating unit, a solid object processing unit recognizes solid objects including vehicles, sets a suppression area including a frontal-face suppression area covering a frontal face of the other vehicle and a side-face suppression area covering a side face of the other vehicle, based on the recognized solid objects, and reduces the degree of reliability of the travel division line candidate present within the suppression area.
