Evaluation of Data Augmentation and Loss Functions in Semantic Image Segmentation for Drilling Tool Wear Detection

Tool wear monitoring is crucial for quality control and cost reduction in manufacturing processes, of which drilling applications are one example. In this paper, we present a U-Net based semantic image segmentation pipeline, deployed on microscopy images of cutting inserts, for the purpose of wear detection. The wear area is differentiated in two different types, resulting in a multiclass classification problem. Joining the two wear types in one general wear class, on the other hand, allows the problem to be …
