  • Publication number: 20200186755
    Abstract: An image acquisition unit acquires a first image corresponding to a rear view from a vehicle, a second image corresponding to a left view from the vehicle in a rearward direction, and a third image corresponding to a right view from the vehicle in the rearward direction. An image processor generates, when a speed is greater than or equal to a first threshold, an image by superimposing a fourth image on the second image and the third image, the fourth image resulting from preventing a first predetermined range corresponding to a lower portion of the first image from being displayed. The image processor generates, when the speed is less than a second threshold, an image by superimposing a fifth image on the second image and the third image, the fifth image resulting from preventing a second predetermined range corresponding to both end portions of the first image from being displayed.
