  • a camera configured to acquire an image by capturing an image of a view around a vehicle;

    a memory configured to store the captured image;

    a distance sensor configured to measure a distance to an object or a position relative to the object;

    a processor configured to;

    fix a view point for the around-view monitor function;

    designate a viewing area at the fixed view point for the around-view monitor function; and

    generate a fixed around-view monitor image representing the viewing area at the fixed view point; and

    a display unit configured to display the fixed around-view monitor image,wherein the processor further configured to;

    obtain, from the camera, a first image representing a first viewing area at a first fixed view point and store the first image in the memory;

    display, based on the first image, a first fixed around-view monitor image representing the first viewing area;

    measure, through the distance sensor, a first position of the vehicle relative to the object;

    obtain, from the camera and as the vehicle moves, a second image representing a second viewing area;

    measure, through the distance sensor, a second position of the vehicle relative to the object;

    detect an overlap area overlapped with the first viewing area among the second viewing area;

    match the second image for the overlap area and the first image for an area that is not overlapped with the second viewing area, to generate a second fixed around-view monitor image representing the first viewing area; and

    cause the display unit to display the second fixed around-view monitor image.
