An ECU generates an overhead image including a vehicle and a vehicle surrounding area, on the basis of a plurality of images taken by a plurality of cameras mounted on the vehicle. When a distance between an object existing in an overlapping portion of imaging areas of the plurality of cameras and the vehicle is within a threshold and the object exists in a traveling direction of the vehicle, the overlapping portion is divided into two pairs of a road surface image and an object image, and combination is performed by alpha blending with an α value for the object image being set to 1 and an α value for the road surface image being set to 0 for an area that is the object image in one of the two pairs and is the road surface image in the other of the two pairs, to generate the overhead image.
