A bird's-eye view video generation device comprising: a video capturing unit configured to capture a surrounding video in which surrounding of a vehicle is imaged; an obstacle information obtaining unit configured to obtain obstacle information of an obstacle detected around the vehicle including a distance to the detected obstacle and a direction of the detected obstacle; a video generating unit (46, 47) configured to generate a bird's-eye view video by performing viewpoint conversion with respect to the surrounding video captured by the video capturing unit so that the vehicle is viewed from above; and a display controller configured to display the bird's-eye view video generated by the video generating unit (46, 47) in a display, wherein the video generating unit (46, 47) is further configured to; when the distance to the detected obstacle is determined to be equal to or longer than a threshold value based on the obstacle information obtained by the obstacle information obtaining unit, generate the bird's-eye view video in which a vehicle icon which indicates the vehicle is displayed at a center thereof enclosed by the bird's-eye view video (101, 102, 103, 104) and an obstacle notification icon (120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126) which indicates the distance to the detected obstacle and the direction of the detected obstacle based on the obstacle information is superimposed thereon; and when the distance to the detected obstacle is determined to be shorter than the threshold value based on the obstacle information obtained by the obstacle information obtaining unit, generate the bird's-eye view video in which the obstacle notification icon (120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126) is superimposed on the center thereof which is enclosed by the bird's-eye view video (101, 102, 103, 104) and indicates a position of the vehicle. a video capturing unit configured to capture a surrounding video in which surrounding of a vehicle is imaged; an obstacle information obtaining unit configured to obtain obstacle information of an obstacle detected around the vehicle including a distance to the detected obstacle and a direction of the detected obstacle; a video generating unit (46, 47) configured to generate a bird's-eye view video by performing viewpoint conversion with respect to the surrounding video captured by the video capturing unit so that the vehicle is viewed from above; and a display controller configured to display the bird's-eye view video generated by the video generating unit (46, 47) in a display, wherein the video generating unit (46, 47) is further configured to; when the distance to the detected obstacle is determined to be equal to or longer than a threshold value based on the obstacle information obtained by the obstacle information obtaining unit, generate the bird's-eye view video in which a vehicle icon which indicates the vehicle is displayed at a center thereof enclosed by the bird's-eye view video (101, 102, 103, 104) and an obstacle notification icon (120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126) which indicates the distance to the detected obstacle and the direction of the detected obstacle based on the obstacle information is superimposed thereon; and when the distance to the detected obstacle is determined to be shorter than the threshold value based on the obstacle information obtained by the obstacle information obtaining unit, generate the bird's-eye view video in which the obstacle notification icon (120, 121, 122, 123, 124, 125, 126) is superimposed on the center thereof which is enclosed by the bird's-eye view video (101, 102, 103, 104) and indicates a position of the vehicle.
