The invention discloses a rapid rice seed testing instrument and method. The working method of the rapid rice seed testing instrument comprises the following steps of S1, preparing; S2, performing double-sided 3D color stereo synchronous scanning imaging; S3, testing the seeds; S4, testing the seeds of the rice ears. According to the invention, through the double-sided 3D color stereoscopic synchronous scanning imaging, by virtue of the high definition and a 3D scanning function, after double-sided synchronous stereoscopic scanning imaging is carried out on all rice seeds in a working area, a picture is automatically synthesized, and a stereoscopic graph of the rice seeds is restored, so that the measurement and statistics of the grain shape, the empty grain number and the real grain number of the rice seeds are met; even the characteristics, such as hairy, no hairy, awn, awnless, etc., need to be analyzed, and before scanning, each tassel and each seed are flatly laid in a specified scanning area without intersecting and overlapping as far as possible, and if the detection objects are connected with each other accidentally, the detection objects can be processed through an image segmentation technology at the later stage, and after scanning imaging, the computer automatically analyzes the pictures and obtains the related information.
