  • Publication number: 20210182575
    Abstract: In a device for generating travel trajectory data in an intersection, a road marking recognizer is configured to recognize a road marking in the intersection using captured image data of the intersection. A travel trajectory data generator is configured to, in response to a result of recognition by the road marking recognizer, generate travel trajectory data that is data enabling specification of a travel trajectory in the intersection for autonomous driving.
