Route change determination system and method using image recognition information

A route change determination system using image recognition system, comprising:

• a GPS module;
• an image recognition module having a line recognition function;
• a road map storage module configured to store road map information and route change possible section information for changing a route of a vehicle;
• a road map receiving module configured to receive the road map information;
• and
• an information processing module configured to determine whether the route is changed or not, based on line recognition information acquired through the image recognition module and the route change possible section information,
• wherein the road map information stored in the road map storage module comprises line characteristic information,
• the information processing module further comprises an information matching unit configured to calculate a traveling lane by matching the line recognition information to the line characteristic information, and
• when the image recognition module recognizes that a part of the vehicle is positioned over a route change line, the information matching unit determines that a lane change for the route change is being performed.
