Original Abstract Submitted
An object is to provide a rearward white line inference device, a target recognition device, and a method capable of inferring a rearward white line with high accuracy. A rearward white line inference device includes: a white line detection unit that detects a white line ahead of a host vehicle; an azimuth-relative-to-white-line generation unit that obtains an azimuth of the host vehicle relative to the white line every predetermined time interval based on a detection result of the white line detection unit; and a relative azimuth inference unit that infers a relative azimuth from the azimuth of the host vehicle at a certain point based on the azimuth of the host vehicle obtained by the azimuth-relative-to-white-line generation unit.
