description Obtaining the complete wear state of the milling cutter during processing can help predict tool life and avoid the impact of tool breakage. A cylindrical model of tool collection is proposed, which uses the collected partial pictures of the side edge to construct a panoramic picture of tool wear. After evaluating the splicing accuracy, the fully convolutional neural network (FCN) segmentation algorithm of the VGG16 structure is used to segment the panorama of the side edge of the end mill after splicing. The FCN model is built using Tensorflow to complete the image segmentation training and testing of the side edge wear area. Experimental results show that the FCN model can segment the side wear image and effectively solve the illumination change problem and different tool wear differences. Compared with the Otsu threshold adaptive segmentation algorithm and K-means clustering algorithm, the error of the extracted wear value is 1.34% to 8.93%, and the average error rate is 5.23%. This method can obtain a more intuitive panorama of the cutter side edge wear of the end milling and provide technical support for improving tool utilization rate, machining quality, and tool selection and optimization.
