A method and a system for the detection and acquisition of resistances of harmful organisms to pest control agents. The system is configured to establish a resistance map, in which information regarding the resistance of one or more harmful organisms to one or more control agents is recorded for a field or a plurality of fields for the cultivation of cultivated plants.

A ship docking assistance device includes a position azimuth information acquisition unit; a LIDAR; a map generation updating unit; a high-point acquisition unit; and a position azimuth estimation unit. The LIDAR acquires point-group data three-dimensionally indicating the environment around a ship. The map generation updating unit generates a map around the ship based on the point-group data. The high-point acquisition unit acquires, from within the point-group data, a high point having a prescribed height or more. The position azimuth estimation unit estimates the position and the azimuth of the ship through matching between the position of the high point acquired by the high-point acquisition unit and the position of the high point in the map. The map generation updating unit updates the map by placing the point-group data in the map using, as references, the position and the azimuth of the ship estimated by the position azimuth estimation unit.
