ABSTRACT:
A device displays images such that a driver can easily recognize an obstacle. The device includes a measurement for measuring a distance and direction to an obstacle, a comparison section for comparing the measured distance with a threshold value, a viewpoint determination section for determining a first viewpoint when the measured distance is larger than the threshold value and a second viewpoint based on the measured direction when the measured distance is not larger than the threshold value, an image generating section for generating an image representing an environment as seen from the first viewpoint when the first viewpoint is set and an image of a particular spot representing a view of the vehicle and the obstacle as seen from an area of the second viewpoint when the second viewpoint is set, and a display section for displaying the bird's eye image or the image of the particular spot.
