In a composite image generation apparatus that is mounted in an own vehicle, each of captured images, which have been captured by a plurality of imaging units, are acquired. A disturbance level for each of the plurality of captured images that have been acquired is determined. The disturbance level indicates: whether or not a disturbance is present in the captured image; or an extent of the disturbance. In an overlapping area in which imaging areas of the plurality of captured images overlap, one or more captured images is selected from the plurality of captured images so that the area occupied by a captured image having a higher disturbance level among the plurality captured images is smaller. A composite image is generated based on the plurality of captured images. In the overlapping area, the composite image is generated by using the captured image selected based on the disturbance level.
