Abstract
This article discusses the use of digital image processing in a variety of machining processes and the benefits that it brings to the industry. In this article, we will also cover the benefits and drawbacks of using digital image processing techniques instead of the various different sensors that are utilized in machining in order to increase product quality. This article provides a concise introduction to several image processing methods that are utilized in the machining process. This paper contains a discussion of a comprehensive analysis of the applications of image processing that have been used in machining during the past ten years. In addition, an illustration of one approach to image texture analysis that may be applied for cutting tool condition identification through the examination of photographs of machined surfaces is shown. A general conclusion that can be drawn from this and leads to the necessary further research in this area has also been discussed.
