Abstract

Various embodiments include a computer-implemented method for determining a level of wear of a tool. The method includes: obtaining an image data set mapping a wear-relevant region of the tool; allocating, using a computing unit and an artificial neural network, one class of a predetermined quantity of classes to each image point of a plurality of image points of the image data set; and determining a characteristic value based on a result of the allocation for the level of wear. The quantity of classes includes at least one wear class.
