Abstract

When a parking assistant assists a driver in carrying out parking operation, the parking assistant takes image of vehicle surroundings to generate vehicle surroundings images, converts coordinates of vehicle surroundings images to generate overhead view image, and sets a parking target area in the overhead view image. On the overhead view image, the parking assistant superposes a parking target area image which denotes the parking target area. The parking assistant generates the parking target area image when a first certain portion where a solid object is present is superposed with the parking target area. The parking target area image is generated in a second certain portion other than the superposed first certain portion. The generating operation is implemented even when another vehicle included in the overhead view image falls in the set parking target area image. The parking assistant displays the overhead view image and the parking target area image.
