The invention discloses a crop grain character measuring method. According to the method, the length, the width, the grain number and the thousand grain weight of crop grains can be rapidly measured and calculated in batches. The method comprises the following steps that 1, assembling a computer, a usb camera, a light-emitting table and a non-transparent box body to construct a crop grain measuring platform; 2, weighing a sample, and spreading and paving the sample on a light-emitting table; 3, writing a program, and sequentially completing data file establishment, blank image acquisition, length calibration, grain image acquisition, sample name and weight entry, image processing and segmentation, connected domain judgment and error correction, measurement data output and the like; automatically completing image analysis and data output after the name and weight of the sample are input by a program, whereinonly a few seconds are needed; measurement results are directly output in a format recognized by office and statistical software and used for further arrangement and statistics. The method has the advantages of being low in cost, easy to operate, rapid, accurate, high in practicability and extremely easy to maintain.
