Claim One:
1. An in-vehicle image display apparatus for use in a vehicle, comprising: a state detecting device that detects a state of surroundings of the vehicle; an image generating device that generates image data representing an image of the surroundings of the vehicle based on detection results from the state detecting device; a display control device that makes the image represented by the image data generated by the image generating device to be displayed at a location forward of the vehicle from a driver seat of the vehicle; and a storage device that previously stores data representing an object to be detected which is detected by the state detecting device in the surroundings of the vehicle, wherein the image generating device compares data of the detection results from the state detecting device and the data stored in the storage device, and uses data that is determined to be similar to the data of the detection results, among the data stored in the storage device, to thereby generate image data representing the image of the surroundings of the vehicle.
