Abstract
An image processing unit repeatedly acquires a captured bird's-eye image which is obtained by bird's-eye conversion of a captured image of the surroundings of a vehicle. An image processing unit acquires a history image that is a bird's-eye image corresponding to a predetermined area in front in the traveling direction at each timing determined according to a predetermined condition. The image processing unit acquires a history image at every predetermined first cycle if an unstable condition related to a behavior of the vehicle is not satisfied. If an unstable condition is satisfied, the history image is acquired at a later timing than the first cycle. The image processing unit creates a bird's-eye image for display by extracting an area corresponding to a non-imaging area of the latest captured bird's-eye image from among the accumulated history images, and combining the extracted area with the non-imaging area.
