    a parking target position detection section that detects a parking target position for parking the vehicle from the first overhead view video;

    a viewpoint position determination section that determines a viewpoint position based on a positional relationship between the parking target position detected by the parking target position detection section and a vehicle position in the first overhead view video;

    a rotation amount determination section that determines a rotation amount in the first overhead view video based on the positional relationship between the parking target position and vehicle position in the first overhead view video;

    a viewpoint conversion table creation section that creates a viewpoint conversion table for moving a center position of the first overhead view video to the viewpoint position determined by the viewpoint position determination section and rotating the first overhead view video with respect to the viewpoint position as a rotation center by the rotation amount determined by the rotation amount determination section; and

    a second overhead view video generation section that applies video conversion processing to the first overhead view video based on the viewpoint conversion table created by the viewpoint conversion table creation section to generate a second overhead view video in which the viewpoint position is located at a center thereof and which is obtained by rotating the first overhead view video by the rotation amount determined by the rotation amount determination section and outputs the second overhead view video to a display section.
