Abstract
The present technology relates to a controller, a control method, and a program that enable self-localization with lower power consumption. Provided are a selection unit that selects, from a horizontal camera mounted in a horizontal direction and a downward camera mounted in a downward direction, a camera used for self-localization depending on speed, and a self-localization unit that performs self-localization using an image obtained by imaging with the horizontal camera or the downward camera selected by the selection unit. The selection unit selects the horizontal camera in a case where the speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined speed, and selects the downward camera in a case where the speed is not equal to or higher than the predetermined speed. The present technology can be applied to a self-localization system.
