The system aims to ensure high-quality machining and prevent tool failure by accurately determining when a tool needs replacement. The process involves defining the area of interest and identifying the worn area using morphological operations and the k-means algorithm. The system's performance, evaluated with precision and recall (harmonic mean of 90.24 ± 2.78%), demonstrates its effectiveness and suitability for on-line integration in micro milling machines. Other tested methods include pure morphological operations and Otsu multi-threshold algorithms.},

abstract = {A new method based on a computer vision and statistical learning system is proposed to estimate the wear level in cutting inserts in order to identify the time for its replacement. A CNC parallel lathe and a computer vision system have been used to obtain 1383 flank images. A binary image for each of the former wear flank images have been obtained by applying several pre-processing and segmenting operations. Every wear flank region has been described by means of nine geometrical descriptors. LDA (linear discriminant analysis) shows that three out of the nine descriptors provide the 98.63% of the necessary information to carry out the classification, which are eccentricity, extent and solidity. The result obtained using a finite mixture model approach shows the presence of three clusters using these descriptors, which correspond with low, medium and high wear level. A monitoring approach is performed using the tool wear evolution for each insert along machining and the discriminant analysis. This evolution represents the probability of belonging to each one of the wear classes (low, medium and high). The estimate of the wear level allows to replace the tool when the wear level is located at the end of the M class (medium), preventing that the tool enters into the H class (high).},

abstract = {Measuring tool wear in milling machines is an important task to evaluate the lifetime of the cutting parts (inserts) and deciding whether we should replace them. In our research, we propose to use computer vision algorithms to perform this task. Part of the research is to evaluate the accuracy of different segmentation algorithms that segment the area of wear. We have used two methods: k-Means and Mean Shift. To evaluate the segmentation results the Dice coefficient was used, obtaining with Mean Shift a QS= 0.5923 for all the edges and a QS= 0.6831 just for edges with high wear.},
