Abstract
A control device is configured to generate a control command for controlling a movable body, using three-dimensional point cloud data about the movable body that is measured using a distance measurement device, the control device including: a range specification unit configured to specify a use range that is a range including only some of the three-dimensional point cloud data; and an estimation unit configured to estimate at least one of the position and orientation of the movable body, using the three-dimensional point cloud data in the use range.
