1. A vehicle-operation assist for a vehicle mounted with a camera, comprising:
- a circumferential-state imaging unit for generating a circumferential-state image using an output image from the camera; and
a synthetic-image generating unit for;
determining an assumed-movement pattern between start and end positions for a predetermined driving operation of the vehicle based on the circumferential-state image, the predetermined driving operation determined regardless of a current position of the vehicle,generating an assumed-movement pattern image indicating movement of the vehicle between the start and end positions, the assumed-movement pattern image including an image representing the vehicle at each of the start and end positions, andsuperimposing the assumed-movement pattern image on the circumferential-state image to form a synthetic image.

Abstract
A vehicle-operation assist includes a circumferential-state imager for imaging a circumferential state of a vehicle with a camera and generating a circumferential-state image; a synthetic-image generator for generating a synthetic image by superimposing on the circumferential-state image, an assumed-movement pattern of the vehicle performing a predetermined series of driving operations; and a display for displaying the synthetic image. The circumferential-state imager has at least one camera and a camera parameter table for storing characteristics of the camera and generating the circumferential-state image on the basis of the camera characteristics.
