| Abstract: | The Mahalanobis distance features proposed by P.C.Mahalanobis, an Indian statistician, can be used in an automatic on-line cutting tool condition monitoring process based on digital image processing. In this paper, a new method of obtaining Mahalanobis distance features from a tool image is proposed. The key of calculating Mahalanobis distance is appropriately dividing the object into several component sets. Firstly, a technique is proposed that can automatically divide the component groups for calculati... |
