Currently in the agricultural machinery field, various types of robot tractor and automatic work machine are being developed. Among them, the automatic driving mechanism using the GPS-RTK is rapidly spreading. However, due to the use of radio waves, radio interference has occurred which directly leads to the accuracy of automatic operation. In this research, we focused on the experimental research for developing a system that supplements the conventional automatic steering system. In the outline of the system, ridges are recognized by image processing, and a route is generated based on this. As a result, accuracy is not high, but it was proved that traveling along the ridges in the fields is possible with information from the image.
