[Problem] To provide an attention support image superimposition-displaying technique that can appropriately support an attention to a given to-be-attended object in an image captured from a vehicle. [Solution] A line segment, which connects the center position (P3) of a displayed area of a to-be-attended object (F) detected, in a forward image, by image recognition to a movement display reference point (P2), is used to generate and display an attention support image. This line segment image is formed, as a result, in a roughly radial pattern centered on the movement display reference point (P2). Any displayed object, which is displayed in the forward image, is movement-displayed in a radial state, which is centered on the movement display reference point (P2), with the movement of the vehicle (V), so that the line segment image indicates the movement locus of the to-be-attended object (F). In this way, even if the center position (P3) of the to-be-attended object (F) detected by the image recognition somewhat deviates in a latest image frame of the forward image, the to-be-attended object (F) is located on an extension of the line segment of the attention support image, so that it is visually easy to perform an interpolation of the deviation and a user can ascertain the to-be-attended object (F) in a natural and intuitive manner. |
