Abstract
This disclosure relates to a system and a method for measuring tire tread depth. The method includes receiving an image of a tire tread recorded using an image-recording device; analyzing the image of the tire tread captured to determine a tire tread depth; determining a status of the tire tread based on the tire tread depth; altering the image of the tire tread captured based on the determined status; and transmitting the altered image to a mobile device.
Claims20
A method for measuring tire tread depth, the method comprising:
- collecting images, with a processor of a computing device, of tires having a variety of tire tread for use with a supervised machine learning algorithm to determine a tire tread depth;
- receiving an image, with the processor, of a tire tread recorded using an image-recording device on a mobile device;
- receiving a vehicle image taken by the image-recording device by the processor, a vehicle includes the tire tread;
- identifying the vehicle with the processor using optical recognition;
- analyzing, with the processor using a software, the image of the recorded tire tread to determine a tire tread depth;
- determining, with the processor, a status of the tire tread based on the tire tread depth;
- altering, with the processor, the image of the recorded tire tread based on the determined status;
- transmitting, with the processor, the altered image to the mobile device;
- and
- displaying, on a display of the mobile device, a closest automotive service center with best tire prices.
