ABSTRACT:
In the traffic lane marking line recognition system for vehicle having an image compositing device for compositing images photographed at different time points by a camera to elongate a traffic lane marking line in the photographed image, a fore-aft direction angle of the vehicle relative to the traffic lane marking line and a distance of the vehicle from the line in each of the images to be composited are detected to determine deviations of the angles and distances between the images; and the images are composited after having been corrected such that the angles and distances of the vehicle relative to the line are equal to each other based on the determined deviations of the angles and distances. With this, the traffic lane marking lines are elongated in appearance in the composited image due to the correction, thereby enabling accurate and unerring recognition of the traffic lane marking line.
