1. A control device to be mounted on a moving body, and configured to display, on a display unit, a display of a traffic signal included in an image that has been captured by an imaging unit for imaging an external field of the moving body, the control device comprising:
a recognition unit configured to recognize the display of the traffic signal from the image;
a communication unit configured to receive display information of the traffic signal through wireless communication; and
a control portion configured to determine the display of the traffic signal, based on the display of the traffic signal that has been recognized by the recognition unit and the display information that has been received by the communication unit, and configured to display, on the display unit, the display of the traffic signal that has been determined,
wherein the control portion comprises:
a lighting color determination unit configured to compare a lighting color of the traffic signal that has been recognized by the recognition unit with a lighting color of the traffic signal that has been acquired from the display information through the wireless communication, and configured to determine a lighting color of the traffic signal to be displayed on the display unit in accordance with a predetermined priority order based on a comparison result; and
a traveling direction determination unit configured to compare an instruction for a traveling direction of the traffic signal that has been recognized by the recognition unit with an instruction for a traveling direction of the traffic signal that has been acquired from the display information through the wireless communication, and configured to determine the instruction for the traveling direction that matches as a comparison result, as the instruction for the traveling direction to be displayed on the display units,
the control device includes, as the display information of the traffic signal, map information that holds at least display information of a traveling direction of a traffic signal indicating a direction of an arrow signal,
the traveling direction determination unit
excludes, from the instructions for the traveling directions of the traffic signals that have been recognized by the recognition unit, an instruction for a traveling direction that does not match the instruction for the traveling direction of the traffic signal that has been acquired from the display information through the wireless communication,
further excludes an instruction for a traveling direction of the traffic signal that does not match the display information held in the map information, and
determines a remaining instruction for the traveling direction of the traffic signal, as the instruction for the traveling direction to be displayed on the display unit.
