Surroundings-monitoring device and computer program product

A computer program product including programmed instructions embodied in and stored on a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the instructions, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform:

• storing, in a memory unit, captured image data output from an imaging unit imaging an area including a road surface in a traveling direction of a vehicle and an area extending upward from the road surface;
• and
• outputting, to a display device, captured image data together with a current position of the vehicle, the captured image data having been previously imaged by the imaging unit and including a road surface corresponding to a blind area existing around the current position of the vehicle in the imaged road surface, from among the captured image data stored in the memory unit, wherein
• the outputting includes outputting only captured image data having been imaged from any position of the vehicle from among a plurality of pieces of the captured image data stored in the memory unit.

A surroundings-monitoring device comprising:

• a memory unit that stores therein captured image data output from an imaging unit imaging an area including a road surface in a traveling direction of a vehicle and an area extending upward from the road surface;
• an output unit that outputs, to a display device, captured image data having been previously imaged by the imaging unit and having an image of a road surface corresponding to a current position of the vehicle in the imaged road surface, from among the captured image data stored in the memory unit;
• and
• an image selecting unit that selects one captured image data based on the current position of the vehicle from among a plurality of pieces of the captured image data stored in the memory unit, wherein
• the output unit outputs only the selected one captured image data corresponding to the current position of the vehicle from among a plurality of pieces of the captured image data stored in the memory unit.
