Abstract

A measurement information acquisition unit acquires depth information indicating a depth in a detection range measured by a depth measurement device that measures the depth. An image acquisition unit acquires an image of the detection range captured by an imaging device that captures the image. A depth extraction unit extracts partial depth information in which a portion not being subject to a determination of being foreign matter or not is removed from the depth information, based on the acquired image. A foreign matter determination unit determines presence or absence of foreign matter in the detection range based on the partial depth information.
