Periphery monitoring device

1. A periphery monitoring device comprising:

a storage that stores therein image data generated by an imager that is mounted on a vehicle;

a switching controller that switches between a first display mode and a second display mode for display of the image data stored in the storage, the first display mode being a mode in which current image data is displayed, the second display mode being a mode in which the current image data is replaced by first past image data and only the first past image data is displayed and information indicating a current position of the vehicle is displayed to be superimposed on the first past image data, the current image data being currently generated by the imager, the first past image data is being previously generated by the imager; and

an output that outputs information to a display device at the time of switching between the first display mode for displaying the current image data being currently generated by the imager and the second display mode for displaying the first past image data previously generated by the imager, the information representing a transition of the image data between when the first past image data is generated and when the current image data is generated.

2. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein

at the time of switching the display of the current image data being currently generated by the imager to the display of the first past image data previously generated by the imager, the output outputs image data generated by the imager during a period from when the current image data is generated and to when the first past image data is generated.

3. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein

the output superimposes, for display of the first past image data generated by the imager, the information indicating the current position of the vehicle on the first past image data, and outputs a superimposed result.

4. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein

at the time of switching the display of the current image data being currently generated by the imager to the display of the first past image data previously generated by the imager, the output outputs information to the first past image data, the information representing a transition of a movement of the vehicle during a period from when the first past image data is generated and to when the current image data is generated.

5. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 1 , wherein

the storage stores therein image data output from the imager that images an area including a road surface in a travelling direction of the vehicle, and

the switching controller switches between the first display mode and the second display mode, the first display mode being a mode in which current image data including the road surface in a current travelling direction of the vehicle is displayed, the second display mode being a mode in which the first past image data including the road surface in a past travelling direction of the vehicle is displayed as image data representing an underfloor of the vehicle, the current image data and the first past image data both being generated by the imager.

6. The periphery monitoring device according to claim 3 , wherein

the output:

outputs second past image data captured between a capturing timing of the first past image data and a capturing timing of the current image data as information indicating transition between the capturing timing of the first past image data and the capturing timing of the current image data; and

superimposes the information indicating the current position of the vehicle on the second past image data and outputs a superimposed result.
