Work vehicle
First Claim
1. A work vehicle configured to work while traveling, provided with a traveling machine and a working machine, comprising:
- a first image-capturing device configured to capture peripheries of the traveling machine; and
a controlling unit configured to control the traveling machine to travel autonomously along a boundary line showing traces of work consecutively formed by the working machine,wherein the controlling unit includes;
a boundary-detecting unit configured to detect the boundary line by processing an image captured by the first image-capturing device, anda traveling-controlling unit configured to control traveling directions of the traveling machine so as to be along the boundary line detected by the boundary-detecting unit, andwherein the boundary-detecting unit is configured to;
generate intensity distribution information regarding texture information in a predetermined direction by filtering with a Gabor filter on the image captured by the first image-capturing device,carry out statistical processing on the intensity distribution information per inspection area divided in plural in a vertical direction so as to detect boundary points, anddetect the boundary line from the boundary points per the inspection area.

Abstract
A mowing vehicle provided with a traveling machine and a mowing device includes a first image-capturing device and a controlling unit configured to control the traveling machine to travel autonomously along a boundary line of grass before and after mowing formed by the mowing device. The controlling unit includes a boundary-detecting unit configured to detect the boundary line and a traveling-controlling unit configured to control traveling directions of the traveling machine. The boundary-detecting unit is configured to generate intensity distribution information regarding texture information in a predetermined direction by filtering with a Gabor filter on a captured image. The boundary-detecting unit is configured to carry out statistical processing on the intensity distribution information per inspection area divided in plural in a vertical direction so as to detect boundary points and to detect the boundary line from the boundary points per the inspection area.
