Abrasive belt wear has an important impact on the dimensional accuracy and surface quality of parts. Accurate quantitative measurement of abrasive belt wear is an important basis for optimizing grinding process parameters, but also a very challenging task for abrasive belts with randomly distributed abrasive particles. In this paper, a quantitative method of determining wear state based on the life cycle surface images of the abrasive belt is proposed to evaluate its material removal ability in the grinding process. For blunted abrasive particles with extremely irregular shapes, TransUNet with a hybrid encoding of a CNN and transformer is adopted to obtain strong representation of complex features and high-precision segmentation boundaries. Three other U-net-based semantic segmentation networks are compared to prove the effectiveness of the trained TransUNet model. The number and area of blunted abrasive particles were calculated by connected domain and statistical methods. The proportion of worn abrasive particles and the wear area ratio when the service life of the abrasive belt is exhausted are about 74.29% and 3.06%, respectively.
