The invention provides a display method of processing images photographed by plural cameras and an apparatus for the same, which synthesizes the images by plural cameras mounted on a vehicle for photographing the surroundings thereof and makes it possible to display an easily viewable three-dimensional object near the vehicle, as if one camera were positioned above the vehicle. An image capture unit captures images photographed by plural cameras that photograph the surroundings of a vehicle. An upper observation point image processing unit synthesizes the captured images into an image viewed as from above the vehicle. An image intensity/chrominance determination unit detects an area wherein the displayed image varies from other areas in the synthesized image based on the intensity/chrominance thereof. When the intensity or the chrominance of the area is continuously varying, a three-dimensional object detection unit determines the detected area as a three-dimensional object. A three-dimensional object display processing is performed regarding the detected three-dimensional object image, using either an ordinary image display or a two-observation point image display. This three-dimensional object display image is associated with an upper observation point image at a base front end of the three-dimensional object by an image connecting synthesizing unit, and the associated image is displayed.
