PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device for estimating a supply amount of garbage, capable of properly controlling the combustion of garbage by grasping a weight of garbage supplied into the incinerator and the kind of garbage in advance. SOLUTION: This device comprises a plurality of photographing means 6 for color-photographing the whole upper face of a surface layer part of the garbage in a hopper of the garbage incinerator, a garbage volume estimating means 31 for deriving a three-dimensional coordinates of the upper face of the surface layer part from a plurality of images taken by the photographing means 6 and estimating the volume of garbage in the hopper, a weight measuring means 7 for measuring a weight of the garbage charged into the hopper, a garbage supply weight estimating means 32 for estimating the weight of garbage supplied into the incinerator from the hopper on the basis of the estimated volume of garbage and the measured charging weight, and a heat generation estimating means 33 for estimating the kind of garbage on the basis of the shape and color of the garbage of the surface layer part from the color images taken by the photographing means 6, and estimating the heat generation of the garbage supplied into the incinerator from the hopper on the basis of the estimated kind and the weight of the garbage supplied of the surface layer garbage.
