A driving support system performs a viewpoint conversion, generates, from a camera image obtained from an in-vehicle camera, an extended bird's-eye view image corresponding to a synthesized image of first and second element images, and displays the generated image. The first element image is a bird's-eye view image showing the condition around a vehicle. The second element image is a far image showing the condition far away from the vehicle. The extended bird's-eye view image is obtained by converting the camera image to an image viewed from the viewpoint of a virtual camera. When the first and second element images are generated, the depression angles of the virtual camera are 90 degrees and 90 degrees or less, respectively. When the extended bird's-eye view image is generated corresponding to the tilt angle or the like of an actual camera, it is automatically determined whether the lack of an image occurs or not. In the case where the lack of the image occurs, the position of the boundary between the first and second element images, the height of the viewpoint of the virtual camera, etc., are adjusted so that the lack disappears.
