Application of the Restoration Algorithm of Cutting Tool Images Based on Fuzzy Theory to Monitor Tool Wear Condition

The tool wear monitoring system based on the image processing and computer vision has better study value and foreground. During the cutting, the cutting tool is always at the movement state, thus, the real-time collected sequence images by CCD sensor are blurred with noise. As a result, we have to confront the problem how to get the high quality images, which is researched by this paper. The paper analyzes the reasons which causing the image blurred, brings forward a degradation function model and finds the degradation of tool wear images dues to the relative movement. According to this function model and combined with the application of fuzzy theory, the restoration algorithm is obtained. The membership function dealing with degraded images of cutting tools is put forward. It turns out that the images restored by this fuzzy restoration algorithm reach our aim.
