In addition to the conventional surface roughness parameters like Ra, Rz JIS and Rz DIN, parameters derived from the material ratio curve and honing angle are used for the functional performance prediction and quality control of cylinder liners. This work presents a method for the description and evaluation of the surface topography of cylinder liner surfaces using machine vision. Images of the cylinder liner surfaces manufactured with different roughness values are captured using a charge coupled device (CCD) camera attached with a miniature microscopic probe in a non destructive manner .The captured images of the cylinder liners are preprocessed to evaluate image based texture parameters based on the statistical properties of the image intensity histograms and box counting fractal method. The developed image based texture parameters are compared and correlated with stylus based roughness parameters. The internal surface image capturing method, the image processing procedure and the results are presented and analyzed in this paper. Key-Words: - cyl
