Abstract
Two methods for the abrasive properties evaluation, based on the image processing, are presented in the paper. Image processing analysis was developed to evaluate quickly the abrasive properties as the tool wears down. The coefficient based on the image brightness was calculated and additional analysis was based on the number of grains located on the active surface of the tool before and after machining. The second method is slower but gives better results especially for reflecting metallic surfaces. The active surfaces of electroplated CBN and diamond tools were analyzed. The practical time of electroplated tools' usage can be predicted with proposed methods.
