Abstract
An image recognition unit recognizes an object in each image captured by a plurality of imaging devices each imaging a partial overlapped imaging region surrounding a vehicle. An image synthesis unit generates a synthesized image by partially overlapping and joining converted images viewed from preset virtual viewpoints, when an imaging region including the recognized object is an overlapping region of which any one of two imaging devices performs imaging. The image synthesis unit synthesizes each converted image area in the overlapping image regions, using a preset blend ratio when an image of the converted images which are joined to partially overlap is generated. An image-setting unit sets the blend ratio of each converted image in the overlapping image regions for recognition results of an object, and a driving support image synthesized with the set blend ratio is output to a display apparatus.
