Abstract
A method is presented for determining a weight of all of the grains of an ear of a grain stalk. The method comprises providing a digital image of the ear in a spindle step view of the ear, wherein the ear is located in front of a reference card as a background, and determining the length of the ear by means of a comparison with the reference card. Furthermore, the method comprises determining a number of spindle steps of the ear by means of a template matching method, determining a number of grains of the ear and determining of the weight of all of the grains of the ear.
