Abstract
A measurement sensor that measures, as three-dimensional point cloud information having a plurality of vertically-adjacent layers, a surface position of an object around the work machine; and an object sensor that senses an object around the work machine on a basis of information from the measurement sensor are included, and the object sensor acquires three-dimensional point cloud information by measurement by the measurement sensor; senses, as point data, a point where microparticles are measured, based on a relation between distances, from the measurement sensor, of point data of vertically-adjacent layers and variations of distance differences, regarding a plurality of pieces of point data included in the three-dimensional point cloud information; deletes the point data of the point sensed as the point where the microparticles are measured, from the three-dimensional point cloud information; and senses an object around the work machine on a basis of the three-dimensional point cloud information.
