无需重训即可识别新谷物品种，实现高效扩展的谷物分析

Advances in crop breeding have introduced an increasing number of grain varieties, creating a growing demand for efficient variety recognition and quantitative analysis. However, existing methods are typically trained on a fixed variety set, and incorporating newly introduced varieties requires additional data collection and model retraining. To address this limitation, we propose GROW, a framework for Grain Recognition and quantitative analysis in Open sets Without retraining. GROW first performs class-agnostic grain localization, converting mixed-grain images into individual instances for variety-wise counting and phenotypic measurement. It then combines visual embeddings and morphological descriptors into fused grain descriptors stored in an extensible GrainBank. Query grains are recognized through rank-similarity weighted top-k retrieval, and newly introduced varieties are incorporated by appending their descriptors without updating the deployed models. Extensive experiments under progressive variety expansion, varying grain densities, and background domain shifts demonstrate the scalability, robustness, and adaptability of GROW. Compared with joint retraining, GROW reduced the average category-registration time from 4153 s to only 39 s while maintaining competitive recognition performance. These results demonstrate that GROW provides an efficient and maintainable solution for extensible grain recognition, counting, and phenotypic analysis without repeated model retraining.
