Abstract
In a rendering device , ROM stores a vehicle model. A rudder angle sensor detects a rudder angle of the vehicle, and based thereon, CPU calculates an estimated path for the vehicle. The CPU receives captured images from cameras to . The CPU generates a display image based on those captured images, the estimated path, and the vehicle model. This display image includes the vehicle model arranged on the estimated path, and displayed on a display device placed in the vehicle. In this manner, the display image generated by the rendering device is indicative and helpful for a driver of the vehicle to exactly figure out a parking space available for the vehicle.
