Abstract

A conveyance amount calculation device (100) comprises a conveyance amount calculation unit (113) that calculates a cross-sectional area of a conveyance object on the basis of belt point-group data indicating the shape of a belt of a belt conveyor for conveying the conveyance object and conveyance object point-group data indicating the shape of the conveyance object, and that calculates the volumetric conveyance amount of the conveyance object on the basis of said cross-sectional area and the belt speed of the belt conveyor. The conveyance amount calculation device (100) further comprises a detection unit (112) that calculates the position of the belt on the basis of point-group data indicating belt end points included in the conveyance object point-group data. The conveyance amount calculation unit (113) may calculate the belt point-group data on the basis of the position of the belt.
