The invention provides a bird's eye view image generating device which is able to complement display deformation in a remote view field and generate a transform image with large display scope, while a complication of calculation processing and an increase in load can be avoided. The bird's eye view image generation device comprises: an image pickup device (2) for taking image near-field to remote view shot from ground above; an image processing unit (4) which is adapted to generate a bird's-eye view image by synthesizing input images, which is captured by the image pickup device; and a display device (6) for displaying the bird's-eye view image. The image processing unit has a memory device for storing a pixel reference conversion table to convert the input images into the bird's-eye view image through planar projection. The remote view side of the bird's eye view image is amplified and remote view area of the input images is synthesized. The pixel reference conversion table weights the input images, so that a ratio of the input image (20b) increases from a near-field side of the bird's-eye view image toward a peripheral and remote viewing side of the bird's-eye view image.
