ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a picture synthesizing apparatus for superimposing an auxiliary image upon an image converted as if the image were photographed with a virtual viewpoint, displaying the image in a monitor, and providing the image such that an approach to a surrounding solid object can easily be predicted from the monitor image. The picture synthesizing apparatus includes: an image pickup unit101disposed in a car; a viewpoint change image synthesizing unit102for changing a viewpoint of the image obtained by the image pickup unit101and synthesizing the image; a car straight locus line generation unit103for generating a locus line at an arbitrary height of the car, when the car linearly advances; and a car locus line drawing unit104for drawing the locus line generated by the car straight locus line generation unit103on the image synthesized by the viewpoint change image synthesizing unit102.
