Abstract
An image generating apparatus for a paving machine, which generates an output image based on input images captured by multiple image capturing parts attached to the paving machine, includes a coordinates correlating part that correlates coordinates in a space model disposed around the paving machine with coordinates in input image planes in which the input images are positioned and an output image generating part that generates the output image by correlating the values of the coordinates in the input image planes with the values of coordinates in an output image plane in which the output image is positioned, via the coordinates in the space model. The space model includes a first plane area parallel to a road surface and a second plane area that intersects the road surface. The second plane area is set at the front end of the paving machine in a traveling direction of the paving machine.
