Abstract:
A bird's-eye view video generation device includes a video acquisition unit configured to acquire surroundings videos obtained by capturing videos of surroundings of a vehicle; a vehicle information acquisition unit configured to acquire vehicle information to estimate move of the vehicle in a turning direction; and a controller configured to, when move of the vehicle in the turning direction is estimated based on the vehicle information that is acquired by the vehicle information acquisition unit, generate a bird's-eye view video obtained by changing a position to display the bird's-eye view video containing a virtual vehicle image such that a surroundings video in a direction that has to be checked in the estimated turning direction is displayed widely. The generated bird's-eye view video is desolated by a display controller on a display panel.
