Abstract:
1. An image display device comprising: a camera mounted on a vehicle body for capturing an image of the surrounding of the vehicle body; a non-transitory computer readable recording medium containing software; and an image processor for executing the software to cause the captured image of the camera to be displayed on a monitor mounted on the vehicle body, to generate a perspective image which is a computer-generated grid graphic that reflects the perspective of the captured image of the camera, and to execute a processing in a road surface-fixed mode in which the perspective image is overlaid on the captured image, is stationary with respect to the road surface in the captured image, and is displayed in a non-fixed manner when the vehicle body moves so as to be scrolled in association with a movement of the vehicle body and this scrolled perspective image is displayed in superposition over the captured image on the monitor, wherein the image processor generates a plane measure image including a partitioning image which partitions a virtual plane corresponding to the road surface in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction by a predetermined interval and converts this plane measure image into the perspective image that reflects the perceived perspective of the captured image of the camera.
