(54)Shape detection system


(57) A shape detection system includes a distance image sensor that detects an image of a plurality of detection objects and distances to the detection objects, the detection objects being randomly arranged in a container, a sensor controller (3) that detects a position and an orientation of each of the detection objects in the container on the basis of the result of the detection performed by the distance image sensor and a preset algorithm, and a user controller (104) that selects the algorithm to be used by the sensor controller (3) and sets the algorithm for the sensor controller (3).
