Abstract
In accordance with an embodiment, an article recognition apparatus includes a first interface, a second interface, and a processor. The processor determines an article region from an image obtained by the first interface and determines a tilt of the article present in the determined article region on the basis of a distance obtained by the second interface. Further, the processor determines on the basis of the determined tilt of the article that the article is placed in the placement region in a state in which the article leans against another object.
