Abstract
In a rendering device Urnd1, a processor 1 receives surrounding images S1 to S8 from image capture devices 5 to 12 placed in a vehicle, and based thereon, generates a vehicle overlaid image. The processor 1 also receives a rudder angle θ from a rudder angle sensor 13 placed in the vehicle. Then, based on the received rudder angle θ, the processor 1 calculates a 3D predictive trajectory of the vehicle, and on the vehicle overlaid image, renders thus calculated 3D predictive trajectories that a display image is generated. Therefore, the display image generated by the rendering device Urnd1 is driver-friendly.
