IMAGE GENERATING DEVICE AND VIEW ANGLE CONVERTING MEANS AND VIEW ANGLE CONVERTING PROGRAM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the costs of hardware to obtain an image to monitor the absolutely necessary view angle of the surrounding of a vehicle. PSOLUTION: This image generating device is provided with a camera 102 to image the surrounding of its own vehicle 101, an image processing part 104 to process a pickup image imaged by the camera 102 and an image providing device 107 to present a processed image processed by the image processing part 104. The image processing part 104 associates respective pixels on the pickup image imaged by the camera 102 with the first two-dimensional variables, and associates respective pixels on a virtual image generated by a virtually set virtual image pickup device with the second two-dimensional variables, and executes the variable conversion of the first two-dimensional variables and the second two-dimensional variables, and generates a processed image in which at least direction or range is changed.
