Claim 4:
5. An excavating machine control device comprising:
a measurement-data acquisition processor unit configured to acquire measurement data of a measurement device configured to measure a natural ground to be excavated by work equipment, the measurement device being mounted on an excavating machine including the working equipment;
a target calculation processor unit configured to calculate, based on the measurement data, a distance from the excavating machine to a boundary between the natural ground and a ground; and
