Claim 0:
1. A control device for a mobile object including one or more imaging devices, the control device comprising:
at least one processor circuit with a memory comprising instructions, that when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to at least:
acquire an image of an external environment of the mobile object from the one or more imaging devices;
perform distortion reduction processing for reducing distortion of an image for each of one or more regions included in an image acquired from the one or more imaging devices, the distortion reduction processing including coordinate transformation of a target region; and
recognize the external environment of the mobile object based on an image on which the distortion reduction processing has been performed,
wherein the one or more regions is determined to be a target of the distortion reduction processing in accordance with a predetermined rule according to a moving scene of the mobile object,
the predetermined rule defines that for the moving scene:
images from the one or more imaging devices are subjected to the distortion reduction processing at a first frequency for a first region; and
images from the one or more imaging devices are subjected to the distortion reduction processing at a second frequency for a second region, the second frequency being higher than the first frequency, and

the instructions, that when executed by the processor circuit, cause the processor circuit to perform the distortion reduction processing to the images in the first frequency for the first region and in the second frequency for the second region when the mobile object is in the first moving scene.
