Abstract
A vehicle periphery viewing apparatus for capturing a vehicle-peripheral image includes: an image capturing device disposed on predetermined position; a display device disposed within the vehicle; and an image processing device performing an image division of the original image into a first image and a second image. The image capturing device captures an original image from the predetermined position. The display device displays the captured vehicle-peripheral image. The image processing device performs a coordinate conversion into a plan view coordinate by using a geometrical correction for the first image. The image processing device performs a predetermined image synthesis for the first image and the second image. The image processing device displays a synthesized image on the display device.
