PURPOSE:To correctly recognize the relative position to obstacles around a vehicle by converting the images from cameras installed on the vehicle into other coordinates by perspective conversion, synthesizing the converted images into one image in relation with the image of the vehicle, and display it on a display. CONSTITUTION:Multiple cameras 1-6 are buried on a vehicle 10 to cover the surrounding environment of the vehicle 10 with respective irradiation ranges (visual fields) 1a-6a, e.g., two each on front and rear bumpers and one each on front winkers. Images from cameras 1-N are inputted to an image converting section 7 and converted into other coordinates by perspective conversion then synthesized into one image by an image display section 9. The synthesized image is displayed on a TV monitor 9 installed at a driver's seat. A high-speed processor capable of processing the images of cameras in parallel is stored in the image converting section 7. The image display section 8 concurrently depicts the position of the vehicle 10, and the display position is displaced according to the operation state. |
