Abstract
A vehicle comprising wheels having tires can be monitored to obtain information regarding the vehicle, including information regarding the wheels, such as an indication of a physical state of a tire and/or other component of the wheel based on at least 3D recognition and/or 2D recognition of image data of the tire and/or other wheel component.
Claims15
A system for monitoring a tire of a vehicle on a ground, the tire including elastomeric material embedded with a reinforcement and defining sidewalls, the system comprising:
- an interface configured to receive data regarding at least one image of the tire;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- perform a two-dimensional (2D) image analysis based on the data regarding the at least one image of the tire to obtain a result of the 2D image analysis, the result of the 2D image analysis being an indication of a defect of the tire;
- create a three-dimensional (3D) model of the tire based on the data regarding the at least one image of the tire;
- generate information on a state of the tire based on at least one of the result of the 2D image analysis and the 3D model of the tire;
- and
- determine that a deterioration threshold event relating to at least one of a crack in a sidewall of the tire, exposure of the reinforcement and a partially embedded foreign object in the elastomeric material, has occurred based on the information on the state of the tire;
- wherein the processor is further configured to issue a signal based on the determination to inform a user of the system of an action to be performed in respect of the tire.
