Abstract
An obstacle detection system for an agricultural work vehicle includes: an obstacle estimation unit that estimates a region in a field based on a detection signal from an obstacle sensor in which region an obstacle is present, and outputs obstacle present region information; an image capturing unit that outputs a captured image of the field; an obstacle detection unit that detects the obstacle from an input image and outputs obstacle detection information; and an image preprocessing unit that generates, as an image to be input to the obstacle detection unit, a trimmed image obtained by trimming the captured image so as to include the region in which the obstacle is present, based on the obstacle present region information and shooting-angle-of-view information regarding the image capturing unit.
