Map Generation System And Map Generation Method

Abstract: This map generation system generates map data for an agricultural machine that travels autonomously on a road around a field. The map generation system comprises: a storage device for storing a plurality of geographical feature block images associated with each of a plurality of types of geographical features that can exist around the road; and a processing device. The processing device performs the following: acquires position distribution data relating to one or more types of geographical features present around the road, said position distribution data being generated on the basis of at least one of image data from an imaging device and sensor data from a LiDAR sensor output while a moving body equipped with at least one of the LiDAR sensor and the imaging device moves along the road; reads one or more types of geographical block images associated with the one or more types of geographical features from the storage device; and arranges the geographical feature block images in accordance with the position distribution data and generates map data of an area including the road.
