A position of a moving object is reliably detected with high accuracy using only an image around a vehicle. A rear camera mounted on a vehicle obtains an original image around the vehicle, a movement region detector detects a moving object from the original image, and a difference calculator detects the moving object from a bird's-eye view image of the vehicle generated by a bird's-eye view image processor. A moving object position identifying part identifies a position of the moving object based on a distance from the vehicle to the moving object detected by the movement region detector or the difference calculator, a lateral direction position of the moving object, and an actual width of the moving object detected by the movement region detector when a detected object determination part determines that the moving objects detected by the movement region detector and the difference calculator are the same moving object.
