Abstract

Disclosed is a technique for providing an image display device enabling a user to understand the entire correspondence relationship between a three-dimensional photographed image and a two-dimensional map image. According to the technique, when a photographed image and a map image in the imaging position are separately displayed on the screen of an image display unit, a map drawing unitreads the position information (x, y) of the camera and the azimuth angle φ of the camera, reads a view angle θ of the camera, and reads map data around the imaging range of the camera using the position information (x, y) of the camera to process and draw the map image so that the view angle θ and the azimuth angle φ match the view angle θ and the azimuth angle φ of the photographed image taken by the camera.
