Abstract
A recording medium, a parking support apparatus and a parking support screen for displaying an image allow the driver of a vehicle to easily grasp the situation while maneuvering the vehicle for parking. A computer-readable recording medium storing a parking support program for causing a computer to display an image for supporting the operation of parking an own vehicle causes the computer to execute an image pickup step that shoots the environment of the own vehicle to acquire a picked up image of the environment, detects the position of the own vehicle to define it as a shooting position and stores the picked up image and the shooting position in association with each other, an image generation step that generates an environment image that is an image of the environment as viewed from a predetermined viewpoint to detect the position of the own vehicle according to the picked up image and the shooting position as stored in the image pickup step and the predetermined viewpoint and also an own vehicle image that is an image of the own vehicle as viewed from the viewpoint according to the position of the own vehicle, the profile information of the own vehicle that is stored in advance and the viewpoint and then generates a synthetic image that is an image synthesized from the environment image and the own vehicle image and a display step that displays the synthetic image generated in the image generation step.
