  • Publication number: 20140340518
    Abstract: A driving support device has a lane marking recognition unit that recognizes at least two lane markings based on a taken image; a deviation angle calculation unit that calculates a deviation angle based on at least the two lane markings; an obstacle recognition unit that recognizes an obstacle position based on the taken image; a camera deviation angle correction unit that corrects the obstacle position recognized by the obstacle recognition unit by the deviation angle; a radar deviation angle correction unit that corrects the obstacle position detected by a radar by the deviation angle; and a driving support processing unit that executes a driving support process based on the corrected obstacle positions.
