Fecha de publicación: 08/12/2022 Fuente: WIPO (eseential oils OR extracts) This system (100) for determining article type comprises: a detector (140) that acquires, as a plurality of three-dimensional point data, the distance to an article (200); and an article type determination device (160) that determines the type of the article (200) on the basis of a profile characteristic of a detected surface part (201) of the article (200). The article type determination device (160) is provided with: a point cloud acquisition unit (151) that acquires, as a point cloud, the point data pertaining to the detected edge part (201); an edge part detection unit (155) that detects a pair of mutually opposing edge parts of the detected surface part (201) on the basis of the point cloud; a linear profile extraction unit (156) that extracts a linear profile extending in a direction following the edge parts on the basis of a point cloud present between the pair of edge parts; and a type determination unit (157) that determines the type of the article (200) on the basis of the linear profile.
