The objective of this study was to determine some physical properties such as length, width, thickness, projected area, sphericity, periphery and different shape coefficients relating to some variety of wheat grains which are widely grown in our country by using image analysis technique. Thirteen different wheat varieties which are suitable for bread and macaroni were selected. The tests were carried out at three moisture contents of 10, 12 and 14%. Wheat grains were placed on the papers at three different positions such as hilum axis at the lateral side, hilum axis at the under side and vertical. The samples were scanned and the images of samples were loaded to the computer as a TIFF file. Then the images of samples were evaluated using UTHSCSA Image Tool Version 3.0. At the end of this study, it was found high correlation between results obtained manually and image analysis. As a result, it was determined that image analysis technique could be used for the determination of some physical properties of wheat grains.
