Abstract
A periphery image display control device displays an image of a periphery area photographed by a camera sensor, and predicts a travel path area which a vehicle-body of the own vehicle will pass through along a predicted travel path. The device detects locations of obstacle points and heights of the obstacle points. The heights of the obstacle points become higher as the obstacle points are farther from the own vehicle. When a gradient (GR=(YO−YB)/(XO−KB)) being a ratio of 'a subtraction value obtained by subtracting a height of a first obstacle point which is nearer from the own vehicle from a height of a second obstacle point which is farther from the own vehicle' to 'a distance between the two obstacle points along the predicted travel path' is greater than a threshold gradient GRth, the device displays an alert screen for the second obstacle point.
