A camera 19 picks up an image of a cargo handling target and acquires
image
data of a mark affixed to the cargo handling target. An image processing section
66 performs image recognition of the mark and acquires the position and
size of the mark in a screen coordinate system. A real coordinate position calculating
section 77 acquires the position of the camera 19 in a real coordinate
system based on the obtained position and size of the mark. Based on the position
of the camera 19, a deviation amount calculating section 78 acquires
a deviation amount between the current position of forks and a target position.
A cargo handling control section 50 executes automatic positioning control
of the forks in such a way that the deviation amount becomes zero.
