Abstract
Disclosed is an image synthesis device including an area determining unit 3 for selecting a vehicle-mounted camera 1 used for generation of a bird's-eye view image viewed from an arbitrary point of view from vehicle-mounted cameras 1a to 1d mounted at different positions, and for determining an area corresponding to the bird's-eye view image in an image captured by the vehicle-mounted camera 1, and an input video signal control unit 4 for receiving image data about the area determined by the area determining unit 3, the image data being included in image data showing the image captured by the vehicle-mounted camera 1, to store the image data in an input frame buffer 5, in which an image processing device 6 generates a bird's-eye view image from the image data stored in the input frame buffer 5.
