Abstract This study describes a technique for measuring the three-dimensional (3D) shape of cutting tool edge, based on a CCD image sensor along the optical axis and on subsequently analyzing the image data. The image of a cutting edge formed by an optical system, such as a lens, contains geometric information about the shape of cutting edge. The focus errors can be deduced from the observed image. This deduction requires digital image processing. The focus error computation and a sequence of images obtained by continuously varying the distance between the lens and the image detector provides the possibility of obtaining high-resolution 3D coordinate measurement of cutting tool edge. The proposed technique is supported by experiments and further applications of the technique are indicated.

Stress analysis on wedge zone is an important step for micro-cutting tool design. The effect of stress borne by the cutting tool upon the radius of its blunt edge was analyzed, when the tool machines with minimum cutting thickness which is confined within 10-4-10-2mm. It shows that the minimal extreme value of the radius of blunt edge is existed in the process of micro-cutting tool design.

At low machining speeds, self-excited chatter behavior is dominated by factors which have never been satisfactorily explained. By studying the forces acting on the cutting tool right behind the cutting edge, the authors have developed a physical explanation for low-speed stability. This leads to an understanding, in terms of physical quantities, of how such variables as tool edge roundness, tool clearance angles, and chatter frequency affect stability. The explanation is consistent with all published experimental observations of low-speed chatter behavior.

Regrinding of wasted cutting tools can recycle resources and decrease manufacturing costs. Influence of relative tool sharpness and tool cutting edge angle on tool edge radius were analyzed. Cutting force and cutting temperature were simulated with FEM on different edge radius. Edge preparation experiments were carried out though an abrasive nylon brushing method. The results show that RTS and cutting edge angle have influence on edge radius. Small edge radius might result in small cutting forces and lower average temperatures, could maintain the cutting state between tool and workpiece. The cutting edge defects can be eliminated through edge preparation, and a smooth cutting edge can be obtained. Cutting tool life will be improved through proper edge design and edge preparation.

Acquisition of CCD image data from frozen-hydrated specimens provides several advantages compared with the use of photographic film. CCD cameras possess excellent linearity, sensitivity and dynamic range. The CCD also allows one to pre-check the quality of a cryo sample much easier than with a TV rate camera or on film. However, the limited field of view (IK2 pixels) of the CCD makes data collection difficult. Gatan, Inc. has produced a LowDose software package, in conjunction with their DigitalMicrograph™ environment, that automates this process and allows for efficient collection of larger amounts of data. This software, along with our own image analysis software, has facilitated the computation of a three-dimensional reconstruction (3D) from images of baculo-expressed, VP2 particles of Aleutian mink disease parvovirus (ADV).ADV has a capsid (∼28.5 nm diam.) that contains two proteins (VP1-2) of which ∼90% is VP2. ADV infections lead to plasmacytosis in mink and are a significant problem worldwide.

This paper presents two advances towards the automated three-dimensional (3-D) analysis of thick and heavily-overlapped regions in cytological preparations such as cervical/vaginal smears. First, a high speed 3-D brightfield microscope has been developed, allowing the acquisition of image data at speeds approaching 30 optical slices per second. Second, algorithms have been developed to detect and segment nuclei in spite of the extremely high image variability and low contrast typical of such regions. The analysis of such regions is inherently a 3-D problem that cannot be solved reliably with conventional 2-D imaging and image analysis methods.High-Speed 3-D imaging of the specimen is accomplished by moving the specimen axially relative to the objective lens of a standard microscope (Zeiss) at a speed of 30 steps per second, where the stepsize is adjustable from 0.2 - 5μm. The specimen is mounted on a computer-controlled, piezoelectric microstage (Burleigh PZS-100, 68/μm displacement). At each step, an optical slice is acquired using a CCD camera (SONY XC-11/71 IP, Dalsa CA-D1-0256, and CA-D2-0512 have been used) connected to a 4-node array processor system based on the Intel i860 chip.

Large amounts of high-quality image data are the basis and premise of the high accuracy detection of objects in the field of convolutional neural networks (CNN). It is challenging to collect various high-quality ship image data based on the marine environment. A novel method based on CNN is proposed to generate a large number of high-quality ship images to address this. We obtained ship images with different perspectives and different sizes by adjusting the ships’ postures and sizes in three-dimensional (3D) simulation software, then 3D ship data were transformed into 2D ship image according to the principle of pinhole imaging. We selected specific experimental scenes as background images, and the target ships of the 2D ship images were superimposed onto the background images to generate “Simulation–Real” ship images (named SRS images hereafter). Additionally, an image annotation method based on SRS images was designed. Finally, the target detection algorithm based on CNN was used to train and test the generated SRS images. The proposed method is suitable for generating a large number of high-quality ship image samples and annotation data of corresponding ship images quickly to significantly improve the accuracy of ship detection. The annotation method proposed is superior to the annotation methods that label images with the image annotation software of Label-me and Label-img in terms of labeling the SRS images.
