The cutting tool wear was measured using optical microscope and vision system based on a proposed algorithm.Maximum and minimum percentage errors in the flank wear width were (8.250% and 0.645 %) respectively. The numerical method used was by a multiple linear and polynomial regression model and developed a polynomial model, especially to predict the flank wear using MATLAB software.Maximum and minimum percentage errors werefound (14% and 0.322 %) respectively.
