摘要:
A vehicle wheel turning angle gauge having a base to support a wheel engaging turnable plate which supports an optical encoder device mounted in non-rotary position so an operating shaft can engage and turn with the turnable plate to generate signals of the degree of turn and the direction of that turn. The base provides a structure for limiting the maximum displacement of the turnable plate without restricting its direction of motion so it will accommodate the range of vehicle wheel movement as required for alignment purposes.

A machine vision system is configured to facilitate placement of a vehicle service apparatus relative to an associated vehicle. The machine vision system is configured to utilize images of optical targets received from one or more cameras to guide the placement of the vehicle service apparatus relative to the associated vehicle.
摘要:
A computer-based vehicle service system, such as a wheel alignment system, is configured to acquire and utilize measurements of the air pressure in the tires of a vehicle undergoing a service procedure.
摘要:
An improved computer controlled optical imaging vehicle wheel alignment system configured to obtain one or more color images of optical targets associated with a vehicle, and to process the color images to obtain vehicle wheel alignment measurements.
摘要:
A vehicle wheel alignment system utilizing one or more optical imaging sensors to acquire either images gradient brightness optical targets affixed to vehicle wheels, or direct images, of the vehicle wheels, from which three-dimensional information related to one or more vehicle wheel alignment angles can be obtained.
摘要:
A optical imaging sensor assembly for a machine-vision vehicle service system comprising a variable lens optical assembly. The variable lens optical assembly is controlled in response to direction from a vehicle service software application to alter an optical characteristic such as a field of view, a lens focal length, or an optical axis alignment to acquire images for use in a vehicle service procedure such as a vehicle wheel alignment procedure, vehicle tire balancing procedure, or tire changing procedure.
摘要:
A machine vision vehicle wheel alignment system configured with at least one cameras for acquiring images of the wheels of a vehicle, and an associated light projectors configured to project a pattern image onto the surfaces of vehicle components such as vehicle wheel assemblies. Images of the projected patterns acquired by the camera, are processed by the vehicle wheel alignment system to facilitate a determination of the relative orientation and position of the surfaces such as wheel assemblies in three dimensional space, from which vehicle parameters such as wheel alignment measurements can be subsequently determined.
摘要:
A method for enabling a vehicle wheel alignment system to compensate an imaging sensor coordinate system for changes associated with adjustments to the pose of an imaging sensor, following movement of a vehicle lift mechanism supporting a vehicle undergoing a vehicle wheel alignment procedure.
摘要:
Methods and systems for determining an alignment of the wheels of a vehicle are provided. The method includes determining values of wheel alignment parameters of a first wheel using images of a first optical target associated with the first wheel wherein the images are received by a first imager having a first field of view, and determining values of wheel alignment parameters of the first wheel using images of the first optical target received by a second imager having a second field of view when the first optical target is outside the first field of view.
