A traffic lane marking line recognition system for a vehicle includes an
image compositing device which composites images photographed at
different time points by a camera to elongate a traffic lane marking line
such as a white line in the photographed image, the brightness of the
photographed images is detected, the brightness is corrected, taking one
image among the plurality of images as a reference, such that the
brightness of the plurality of images is equal to each other, and the
plurality of images are composited after the brightness has been
corrected. By making the brightness of the images to be composited equal
to each other, it becomes possible to recognize the traffic lane marking
line accurately and unerringly.
