step that generates an environment image that is an image of the
environment as viewed from a predetermined viewpoint to detect the

predetermined viewpoint and also an own vehicle image that is an image of
the own vehicle as viewed from the viewpoint according to the position of
the own vehicle, the profile information of the own vehicle that is
