Determination method for temperature and geometry of a hot metal strip passing through a finishing train with a plurality of roll stands (F1...F6), - wherein at the latest when strip points of the hot strip enter the finishing train a starting temperature and a starting geometry are captured for the respectively entering strip point, - wherein the starting temperature and the starting geometry of the respective strip point are assigned to the respective strip point as the actual temperature and the actual geometry, - wherein the strip points are tracked as they pass through the finishing train, - wherein the hot strip is subjected to temperature influences (δT) and geometry influences (δG) in the finishing train, - wherein by means of a model and using the actual temperature, the actual geometry, the temperature influences (δT) and the geometry influences (δG), taking into account the tracking, new actual temperatures and new actual geometries of the captured strip points are determined in real time and assigned to the captured strip points so that the actual temperatures and the actual geometries of the strip points entering the finishing train are available at any time during the passage of the strip points through the finishing train, characterised in that - after the strip points exit from the finishing train, their final geometries are captured, - using the final geometry captured in each instance and the actual geometry correction factors (s k) are determined for the modelling of the roll stands (F1... F6) by the model and - by means of the model in addition to the actual geometries functional dependencies of the actual geometries on the correction factors (s k) are determined, so that the actual geometries of the strip points that have already entered the finishing train can be corrected based on the correction factors (s k) during their passage through the finishing train. - wherein at the latest when strip points of the hot strip enter the finishing train a starting temperature and a starting geometry are captured for the respectively entering strip point, - wherein the starting temperature and the starting geometry of the respective strip point are assigned to the respective strip point as the actual temperature and the actual geometry, - wherein the strip points are tracked as they pass through the finishing train, - wherein the hot strip is subjected to temperature influences (δT) and geometry influences (δG) in the finishing train, - wherein by means of a model and using the actual temperature, the actual geometry, the temperature influences (δT) and the geometry influences (δG), taking into account the tracking, new actual temperatures and new actual geometries of the captured strip points are determined in real time and assigned to the captured strip points so that the actual temperatures and the actual geometries of the strip points entering the finishing train are available at any time during the passage of the strip points through the finishing train, characterised in that - after the strip points exit from the finishing train, their final geometries are captured, - using the final geometry captured in each instance and the actual geometry correction factors (s k) are determined for the modelling of the roll stands (F1...
