Abstract
An imaging device mounted on a vehicle () acquires image data resulting from capturing an image of a scene around the vehicle (). A parking section (E) corresponding to the desired parking position is set. The image data is subjected to an image-converting process that includes at least one of viewpoint conversion and distortion correction. A deflection angle (λ) between the vehicle () and the parking section (E) is calculated. The image data is outputted until the deflection angle (λ) becomes equal to or less than a predetermined reference deflection angle, the image data being outputted to a display adapted for installation in the vehicle (). Once the deflection angle (λ) has become equal to or less than the reference deflection angle, converted image data that has been subjected to the image-converting process is outputted.
