1. A driving environment information display method, the method comprising:
acquiring environment information;
selecting a first seed image corresponding to a curvature of a road on which driving is currently performed based on the acquired environment information, from among a plurality of lane division line seed images having different curvatures;
disposing two of the selected first seed image at a display origin corresponding to a vehicle origin;
distorting one of the two first seed images based on a first lateral distance from a left lane division line of a lane on which a host vehicle drives;
distorting the other of the two first seed images based on a second lateral distance from a right lane division line of the lane;
outputting each of the two distorted first seed images through a display unit;
selecting a second seed image corresponding to a third lateral distance between a nearby vehicle and the vehicle origin, a first longitudinal distance therebetween, and the curvature of the road based on the acquired environment information, from among a plurality of vehicle seed images having shapes viewed at different angles; and
converting the selected second seed image based on the third lateral distance, the first longitudinal distance, and the curvature of the road.
