ABSTRACT:
Indices in the form of colored poles are installed on a ground surface to be digged, and the indices are picked up by a television camera set on one side of a digging machine so as to set a target digging line on rectangular coordinates. Marks are applied to suitable points of the machine and are also picked up by the television camera so as to detect the positions of the marks on the rectangular coordinates. The position of the cutting edge of the machine is calculated by taking the positions of the marks as references. The result of the calculation is stored in a memory device and its content is used to display the locus of the movement of the cutting edge on the screen of a monitor television installed in the cabin of the digging machine while at the same time the target digging line is also displayed on the screen.
