Claim One:
1. A method for extracting gash parameters of a cutting tool, the method comprising: positioning the cutting tool on a moveable stage; scanning two or more gash sections of the cutting tool to generate two or more gash section scanning point clouds; indexing multiple points of the two or more gash section scanning point clouds; detecting multiple gash features using the two or more indexed gash section scanning point clouds; projecting multiple point clouds of the gash features of the two or more indexed gash section scanning point clouds to form one or more projected gash feature point clouds; identifying one or more types of the one or more projected gash feature point clouds; segmenting the one or more projected gash feature point clouds based on the type identification; and extracting one or more gash parameters based on the segmentation of the one or more projected gash feature point clouds.
