Embryo is an important part of the corn kernel. Its characteristics can help to improve the automatic recognition rate of corn variety. This paper was on the extraction of embryo from the image of corn kernel. Jingke 25 which was commonly used in North China was selected as study objects. A bilateral filtering combined with the growth of the seed region (RSG) method was proposed to extract corn kernel embryo. The obtained embryo was the same with the observed by eyes. The area and perimeter of the embryo were calculated to be compared with the area and perimeter measured by hands. The mean values of R2 were 0.962 and 0.985 2, respectively.
