Abstract
Provided is a device whereby the position of an obstacle can be perceived on a monitor without compromising the effectiveness of displaying an overhead image on the monitor. An overhead image generating unit generates an overhead image from images captured using plural cameras, and the overhead image is displayed in an auxiliary display area of a monitor. When an obstacle detection part detects an obstacle in proximity to a vehicle, a specified information output unit emphasizes the display of a frame in the outer side of a divided area of the overhead image that contains the obstacle. Touching the auxiliary display area with a finger or the like during this emphasized display causes the captured image of the obstacle to be enlarged and displayed in the auxiliary display area.
