A monitoring apparatus for providing the driver with the image of blind-spot areas of a moving body. The monitoring apparatus includes: at least one of fish-eye camera (36) mounted on a moving body, to image fish-eye image around the moving body; a dewarping unit configured to convert at least part of the fish-eye image obtained by the fish-eye camera (36) into a two-dimensional image using a dewarping parameter; a conversion parameter calculation unit configured to calculate a conversion parameter for obtaining a bird's-eye view image from the two-dimensional image, showing an image from a hypothetical position looking down on the moving body; a bird's-eye view image creation unit (37) configured to create a bird's-eye view image by sequentially fetching position data corresponding to each pixel of the bird's-eye view image using the conversion parameter and the dewarping conversion parameter; and a display device (42) to display the bird's-eye view image created by the image creation unit (37). |
