A traffic lane marking line recognition system for vehicle including a
traffic lane marking line recognizing device configured to recognize at
least a traffic lane marking line in broken (e.g., white) line on a road
surface in a camera photographed image, and an image compositing device
which composites images photographed at different time points to elongate
the traffic lane marking line in the photographed image, wherein the
images are composited in a processing stage in such a manner that no
change will be imparted to at least a shape of the traffic lane marking
line in the photographed image in a traffic lane marking line recognition
processing, specifically in a processing stage prior to edge detection.
With this, a distant traffic lane marking line is prevented from being
chipped away when compositing the photographed images, thereby enabling
accurate and unerring recognition of the traffic lane marking line.
