Abstract: The image processing device counts the number of lane marking feature points. The image processing device determines whether the count number of the lane marking feature points is equal to or greater than a first threshold. The image processing device arranges the setting to use the lane marking feature points in the lane marking detection process when the count number of the lane marking feature points is equal to or greater than the first threshold. On the other hand, the image processing device counts the number of Botts' Dot feature points when the count number of the lane marking feature points is smaller than the first threshold. The image processing device arranges the setting to use the Botts' Dot feature points in the lane marking detection process when the count number of the Botts' Dot feature points is equal to or greater than the second threshold.

Abstract: A division line recognition apparatus is provided with a feature detector detecting bright features showing an area which is brighter than a road surface from captured images, and a reflection determination unit which determines straight lines as road surface reflection areas, when the bright feature points are detected in a same position between frames of images captured at a preset period and form a straight line shorter than a preset threshold length, among the detected bright feature points. A white line recognition unit which recognizes a white line from the bright feature points having the bright feature points showing a short line determined as the road surface reflection, removed therefrom.

Abstract: A computer that includes arithmetic processing units, a main memory, and a cache memory that is shared, and allows virtual computers to operate executes the following process. In other words, an instruction to arrange a program on a region of a virtualized virtual memory is given. Then, when the instruction is received, it is determined whether or not a program of an arrangement target remains arranged on the main memory. When it is determined that the program of the arrangement target remains arranged on the main memory, a region of the main memory on which the program of the arrangement target is arranged is associated with the region of the virtual memory. However, when it is determined that the program of the arrangement target does not remain arranged on the main memory, the program of the arrangement target is arranged on the region of the virtual memory.
