Abstract
Some embodiments are related to a system for estimating a harvest volume in a vineyard operation organized into rows of vine stocks, including: a photographic device for capturing a photographic image of a set of stocks when the system passes between two rows of the vineyard operation; a device for measuring a distance between the vine stocks and the photographic device; and a calculator for detecting the berries within the photographic image, determining a number of berries in a bunch, determining a number of bunches on a stock, and determining an indicator of the volume depending on the number of berries in a bunch, the number of bunches on a stock and the diameter of the berries determined from the photographic image and the distance measurement.
