1. A cruise-assist image generation device comprising:

  • a steering angle information acquisition circuitry configured to acquire, repeatedly at a time interval, steering angle information of a steering wheel;

    a memory configured to store a plurality of data sets in a lookup table, each data set of the plurality of data sets includes coordinate data corresponding to a different steering angle of a plurality of steering angles;

    an additional line generation circuitry configured to;

    select a data set from the plurality of data sets in accordance with the steering angle information,generate a cruise assist additional line formed by a combination of a number of vertical segments and a number of horizontal segments based on the data set selected from the plurality of data sets, andupdate the cruise assist additional line based on a change of the steering angle information; and

    an additional line superimposing circuitry configured to superimpose the cruise assist additional line on an image of a vehicle periphery, whereinthe each data set of the plurality of data sets includes a common coordinate between at least one of the vertical segments and at least one of the horizontal segments that form the cruise assist additional line.
