Abstract
A rear imaging unit captures an image of a scene behind a vehicle. An in-vehicle imaging unit captures an image of a rear seat in the vehicle. An electronic mirror display unit displays a rear image of the vehicle captured by the rear imaging unit. An image recognition unit recognizes a facial expression of a person or an animal in the rear seat in the image captured by the in-vehicle imaging unit. A display control unit superimposes the mage representing the facial expression on the rear image and displays a resultant image on the electronic mirror display unit.
