Abstract
An article determination apparatus () is used with two image capture units (). One image capture unit (), an article shelf (), and the other image capture unit () are arranged in this order. The acquisition unit () acquires images generated by the two image capture units (). The image processing unit () generates first size data and second size data by processing the images acquired by the acquisition unit (). The first size data and the second size data indicate the size of an area in which an article is captured in an image generated by one image capture unit () and by the other image capture unit (), respectively. The determination unit () determines that an estimation result of the article name of the article by image processing is correct when a relation between the first size data and the second size data satisfies a criterion.
