To provide a railway track detection apparatus and a program that can detect a branching track of a railroad with higher accuracy.SOLUTION: A railway track detection apparatus includes a track detector and a clustering device. The track detector executes track detection of detecting a track of one route of a railroad vehicle from an image captured in an advancing direction of the railroad vehicle, multiple times according to the number of a plurality of preset detection parameters. The clustering device detects a branch of the track in the image by classifying a plurality of track detection results obtained by the track detector into a plurality of clusters.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 6 【課題】鉄道の分岐線路をより高精度に検出することができる鉄道線路検出装置およびプログラムを提供することを目的とする。【解決手段】本実施形態による鉄道線路検出装置は、線路検出部と、クラスタリング部と、を備える。線路検出部は、鉄道車両の進行方向を撮影した画像から鉄道車両の１つの経路の線路を検出する線路検出を、予め設定された複数の検出パラメータの数に応じて、複数回実行する。クラスタリング部は、線路検出部による複数の線路検出結果を複数のクラスタに分類することにより、画像内の線路の分岐を検出する。【選択図】図６
