Claim 3:
4. A traffic monitoring method, comprising:
acquiring image data from a camera, the image data being generated by capturing a monitoring area including a road;
acquiring millimeter-wave data from a millimeter-wave radar, the millimeter-wave data being generated by scanning a scanning area included in the monitoring area;
synchronizing the image data and the millimeter-wave data such that a difference between a first timing at which the image data is generated and a second timing at which the millimeter-wave data is generated is equal to or smaller than a certain value;
associating the image data and the millimeter-wave data which have been synchronized, with each other, and generating a monitoring screen that indicates a condition of the road;
determining a retention condition of an object in the scanning area based on the millimeter-wave data; and
superimposing information indicating the retention condition on the image data,
wherein the information indicating the retention condition is color information in accordance with a detection frequency of the object, and
the color information is superimposed on the image data while making the color information transparent on the image data.
