An image processing device and method for parking support that allows the
driver to perceive the state surrounding the vehicle correctly in a
simple operation even if plural cameras are carried on the vehicle.
Plural images are acquired using plural cameras for image pickup in
different directions surrounding the vehicle. These images are used to
show the state surrounding the vehicle to the driver, preferably in the
form of a bird's-eye view. The view seen by the driver can switch from
the bird's-eye view to an image of a desired view. This view can be
selected by the driver by, for example, touching the screen upon which
the bird's-eye view is displayed.
