Abstract
When images of vehicle surroundings are captured by cameras and are displayed together with an image of a vehicle, surrounding images within a predetermined distance from the vehicle are displayed at the same scale as the scale of the vehicle image, and surrounding images outside the predetermined distance are displayed at a larger scale than the scale of the vehicle image. The surrounding images may be displayed at a progressively larger scale as the distance from the vehicle increases.
