A driving assistance device comprising:

• a storage unit;
• a processor;
• and
• one or more programs stored in the storage unit and executed by the processor, the one or more programs comprising:
• an image obtaining module operable to obtain at least one image of a surrounding environment of a vehicle captured by at least one camera, each of the at least one captured image comprising distance information indicating at least one distance between the at least one camera and at least one object captured by the at least one camera;
• an object detecting module operable to extract the distance information from the obtained at least one captured image;
• a creating module operable to create at least one three-dimensional (3D) model based on the extracted distance information, coordinates of each pixel of the at least one captured image, and a reference point determined according to the at least one captured image;
• and
• a control module operable to control at least one display device to display the created at least one 3D model.
