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.
