An accident report device for reporting accident information to a predetermined report destination in a case where a vehicle is involved in an accident, includes: an image acquiring unit configured to acquire an image acquired by at least one vehicle-mounted camera mounted on the vehicle; an information acquiring unit configured to acquire information related to the vehicle; and an image control unit configured to control a terminal of the report destination such that the terminal displays a synthetic image generated based on the image, the synthetic image showing an area surrounding the vehicle and an external appearance of the vehicle as seen from a virtual viewpoint.

Accident report device and accident report method

An image processing apparatus includes an image processor configured to: acquire a plurality of captured images captured by a plurality of cameras installed on a vehicle; generate a composite image showing a vicinity of the vehicle viewed from a virtual viewpoint, using the plurality of captured images; generate a vicinity image by superimposing a distance indicator that shows at least one distance from the vehicle on the composite image, the distance indicator encompassing a periphery of the vehicle in the composite image; and output the vicinity image to a display to cause the vicinity image to be displayed on the display.

Image processing apparatus

An image processing apparatus that processes an image includes an image processor configured to: acquire a photographic image from a camera photographing a region near a host vehicle; derive a trace line showing a moving trace of a path on which the host vehicle has moved previously; derive a prediction line showing a predicted moving path of the host vehicle; generate a support image by superimposing the trace line and the prediction line on the photographic image when a wheel of the host vehicle is turned; and output the support image to a display apparatus that displays the support image.
