Claim 26:
27. A method for controlling a mobile object including one or more imaging devices, the method comprising:
acquiring an image of an external environment of the mobile object from the one or more imaging devices;
performing 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
recognizing 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 to be a target of the distortion reduction processing is determined 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 in a first frequency for a first region; and
images from the one or more imaging devices are subjected to the distortion reduction processing in a second frequency for a second region, the second frequency being higher than the first frequency, and

the method comprises performing 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 vehicle is in the moving scene.
