We present the image processing techniques suitable for the automation of tribo-diagnostics. Processing of digital microgram displaying the wear particles in the lubricating oil gives a set of separated objects representing the wear particles.

The feature vectors of objects input the consequent particle classification and machine condition estimation. Therefore, the precise retrieval of all wear particles (i.e. the application of the optimal processing techniques on the microgram) is the crucial problem of computer aided tribodiagnostics.
