The image processor is to acquire information about the position of a driver's viewpoint, information about the position of the display, information about the position of a virtual mirror for geometrically transforming an image picked up by the outside-view camera to an image viewed from the viewpoint, and to generate a mirror-displaying image to be displayed on the virtual mirror, from the information about the position of the viewpoint, information about the position of the display, information about the position of the virtual mirror and the image picked up by the outside-view camera. The image processor generates data representing a mirror frame surrounding the mirror-displaying image, and causes the display to display the mirror frame and the mirror-displaying image in the mirror frame.
