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.
