Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Provided is a device whereby it is possible to accurately recognize which area has been enlarged when part of an overhead image displayed on a monitor is displayed as enlarged. When any one area of a plurality divided areas (D 1 -D 4 ) is indicated, the divided areas being a result of dividing an overhead image displayed on a monitor ( 21 ), an image of the indicated divided area (D 1 -D 4 ) is set as an image to be enlarged, and an auxiliary display area ( 21 B) is set as an enlarged display area. Enlarged display unit forms a plurality of intermediate images (M) of an intermediate size between the size of the indicated divided area (D 2 ) and the size of the enlarged display area, and the intermediate images are sequentially displayed beginning with the smallest intermediate image (M), using the indicated divided area (D 2 ) as an origin point.
