Abstract
Systems and methods for determining a mass of a crop by using at least one X-ray scanner is provided. The method includes obtaining at least two scan images of the crop, where a first of the at least two images is obtained along a first plane relative to the crop and a second of the at least two images is obtained along a second plane relative to the crop, and where the first plane is angularly displaced relative to the second plane, registering the first image and the second image, correcting the registered first and second images, and determining the mass of the crop from the corrected first and second images.
