Abstract
An in-vehicle image display apparatus comprising a state detecting device that detects a state of vehicle surroundings; a display device provided in at least in a window section of the vehicle and capable of displaying information; an image generating device that generates image data representing an image of the vehicle surroundings based on detection results; a display control device that makes the display device display the image represented by the image data generated by the image generating device; and a storage device that previously stores data representing an object to be detected which is detected by the state detecting device in the vehicle surroundings. The image generating device compares the image data and the data stored in the storage device, and uses data of an object to be detected that is determined to be similar to the object to be detected which is represented by the image data generated by the image generating device itself to thereby generate image data representing the image of the surroundings of the vehicle.
