Claim 5:
6. A control method of a vehicle display control device comprising:
recognizing, by a computer, road markings of a road on which a host vehicle travels based on at least an output of a detection device that detects target objects present in a traveling direction of the host vehicle;
representing, by the computer, center positions of a traveling lane in a point sequence for each prescribed first distance with respect to a first direction based on the recognized road markings; and
determining, by the computer, positions of the road markings based on information of the center positions when a display device is allowed to display a surrounding situation display image including a host vehicle icon representing the host vehicle and an image of the road markings representing the road,
wherein the control method further comprises:
detecting a lane width of one of traveling lanes at a position of a prescribed second distance associated with the first direction in the host vehicle based on the output of the detection device; and
determining a distance between the road markings that have been determined based on the information of the detected lane width,
wherein the control method further comprises:
determining the positions of the road markings by connecting positions offset from the center positions indicated in the information of the center positions in a left-right direction with respect to the lane width of the traveling lane indicated in the information of the lane width, and, wherein the control method further comprises:
recognizing a radius of the road based on a plurality of center positions in an overhead view plane viewed from above; and
obtaining the information of the center positions by multiplying the recognized radius by a compression degree according to the radius in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction to decrease curvature of a centerline connecting the center positions.
