1. An image recognition apparatus comprising: a controller configured to: acquire image information of a plurality of frames of images sensed at predetermined regular time intervals, each image including at least a road surface of an area close to a vehicle; detect a leading end and a trailing end of a lane mark included in a detection area defined in each frame of the image information; detect a detected distance from one of the leading end and the trailing end of the lane mark to the other one as a detected distance on the basis of the speed of the vehicle and the number of frames between a frame in which one of the leading end and the trailing end of the lane mark is detected and a frame in which the other one of the leading end and the trailing end of the lane mark is detected; and determine a lane mark type of the lane mark on the basis of the detected distance.
