OBJECT DETECTION DEVICE, POS TERMINAL DEVICE, OBJECT DETECTION METHOD, PROGRAM, AND PROGRAM RECORDING MEDIUM

摘要

Provided are an object detection device, POS terminal device, object detection method, and program capable of carrying out appropriate processing according to whether an object is covered by a translucent container. A distance measurement unit measures the distances to each position on an opposing object. An irradiation unit irradiates light onto the object. A reflected light intensity measurement unit measures the intensities of the reflected light that has been irradiated by the irradiation unit and reflected from each position on the object. An object determination unit determines whether the object is covered by a translucent container based on the distances measured by the distance measurement unit and the reflected light intensities measured by the reflected light intensity measurement unit.

主权项

1. An object detection device comprising:
a distance measurement unit that measures a distance to each of positions on an object facing itself; an irradiation unit that emits light ray onto the object; reflected light intensity measurement unit that measures intensities of light rays emitted by the irradiation unit and reflected at the positions on the object; and a target object determination unit that determines whether a target object is covered with a translucent container based on the distances measured by the distance measurement unit and the intensities of reflected light rays measured by the reflected light intensity measurement unit.
