1. An image correction system, which is capable of transmitting data indicating an image captured by a camera to a display device via a vehicle device and an external device, the camera and the vehicle device being mounted to a vehicle and the external device being disposed outside the vehicle,
the image correction system comprising:
an inclination detection unit detecting, with respect to a predetermined orientation, an inclination of a photographed image that indicates the image captured by the camera; and
a correction processing unit performing a correction by correcting the inclination of the photographed image, which is detected by the inclination detection unit, to a target orientation and generating a display image to be displayed on the display device,
the inclination detection unit detects the inclination of the photographed image (i) based on the photographed image which includes structural objects or markers disposed in the vehicle such that a left-right direction or an up-down direction of the vehicle can be recognized or (ii) based on a left-right direction or an up-down direction of an object included in the photographed image capturing a landscape outside the vehicle by performing image recognition to the photographed image, and
the image correction system corrects the inclination of the photographed image by using the photographed image itself without using a sensor that detects an inclination of the vehicle.
