This paper presents a methodology of using the watershed segmentation in identifying abrasive grains on the abrasive tool active surface. Some abrasive grain tips were selected to minimize the errors of detecting many tips on a single abrasive grain. The abrasive grains, singled out as a result of the watershed segmentation, were then analyzed to determine their geometric parameters. Moreover, the statistical parameters describing their locations on the abrasive tool active surface and the parameters characterizing intergranular spaces were determined.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Metrological Aspects of Abrasive Tool Active Surface Topography Evaluation}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/106357/PDF/10.1515mms-2016-0043%20paper%2007.pdf}, doi={10.1515/mms-2016-0043}, keywords={grinding wheel, grain segmentation, watershed segmentation, image analysis}, }
