To provide a waste substance height information detection device and waste substance height information detection method capable of correctly detecting height information of a whole waste substance.SOLUTION: A waste substance height information detection device D comprises: a plurality of point group data generation sections 1 (1-1, 1-2) for generating three-dimensional point group data of a part of a surface of a waste substance stored in a storage section with respect to the surface, so as to include parts of mutually different surfaces; a point group data processing section 22 for obtaining three-dimensional point group data of the whole surface based on respective pieces of three-dimensional point group data of the parts of the surfaces, which are respectively generated in the plurality of point group data generation sections 1; and a height information processing section 23 for obtaining height information related to the height of the waste substance based on the three-dimensional point group data of the whole surface. When there is no obstacle to shield a visual field in a space to the surface, the plurality of point group data generation sections 1 are arranged to allow an integration result obtained by integrating the respective parts of the surfaces in the plurality of point group data generation sections 1 to be the result of the whole surface.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】本発明は、廃棄物全体の高さ情報をより正確に検出できる廃棄物高さ情報検出装置および廃棄物高さ情報検出方法を提供する。【解決手段】本発明の廃棄物高さ情報検出装置Ｄは、収容部に収容された廃棄物の表面に対し、互いに異なる表面の部分を含むように、前記表面における一部分の３次元点群データを生成する複数の点群データ生成部１（１－１、１－２）と、複数の点群データ生成部１それぞれで生成した前記表面における一部分の各３次元点群データに基づいて、表面全体の３次元点群データを求める点群データ処理部２２と、前記表面全体の３次元点群データに基づいて、廃棄物の高さに関わる高さ情報を求める高さ情報処理部２３とを備え、複数の点群データ生成部１は、前記表面までの間に視界を遮る障害物が無い場合に、複数の点群データ生成部１それぞれの前記表面における各一部分を統合した統合結果が前記表面全体となるように、配設されている。【選択図】図１
