1. A control device comprising:
circuitry configured to:
perform automated driving control of a vehicle using a compound eye camera including a first camera and a second camera to recognize a surrounding environment based on generating a disparity map that contains three-dimensional information;
detect a malfunction of the first camera; and
continue automated driving control of the vehicle after detecting the malfunction using only the second camera to recognize the surrounding environment based on analysis of compartment lines in a single image of a road captured only by the second camera in which the malfunction is not detected and based on a calibrated vanishing point determined from images previously obtained by the first camera and the second camera.
