Abstract: An in-vehicle display device includes an image acquiring unit, a position predicting unit, and an image converting unit. The image acquiring unit acquires an image obtained by capturing an object existing around a host vehicle by a camera mounted on the host vehicle. The position predicting unit calculates a first positional relationship between the object and the host vehicle at timing T1 and calculates a second positional relationship between the host vehicle and the object at timing T2 after timing T1 based on the image acquired by the image acquiring unit and a capture timing. Furthermore, the position predicting unit predicts a third positional relationship between the host vehicle and the object at timing T3 after timing T2 based on the first positional relationship and the second positional relationship.
