Abstract
A system which provides a driver with an image obtained by photographing an area around a vehicle, the system comprising: a photographing unit which photographs an area around the vehicle which is out of the driver's line of sight because of a structure of the vehicle; an image processing unit which processes an image of the area around the vehicle photographed by the photographing unit; and a display unit which displays the image processed by the image processing unit, wherein the image processing unit performs coordinate transformation for the image photographed by the photographing unit based on information of a point-of-sight position of the driver and information of a setting state of the display unit to display an image the same as a view of the outside of the vehicle as is directly seen from the point-of-sight position of the driver through a setting area of the display unit.
