Abstract
A parking assist apparatus includes a CPU for generating recorded image data based on image data obtained from a camera which is mounted on a vehicle, the image data being related to at least an imaging position, and an image memory for retaining the recorded image data even after the parking operation is terminated. The parking assist apparatus also includes an image processor for outputting a parking assist image using the recorded image data and current image data on a display and an RAM for storing ending history data which is obtained when the parking operation is terminated. When the parking operation is terminated once and then repeated, the CPU and the image processor determine whether the recorded image data stored before the termination of the prior parking operation is still useful, on the basis of the ending history data.
