Abstract
A system for predicting remaining service life of a tire includes a camera and circuitry. The camera is configured to capture an image of a tire mounted on a vehicle. The circuitry is configured to determine whether uneven wear has occurred in the tire based on the captured image, to acquire transition information indicating a transition of a remaining groove of the tire, and to predict the remaining service life of the tire based on a degree of progress of the uneven wear and the transition information if uneven wear is determined to be present.
Claims20
A tire remaining service life prediction system comprising:
- a camera configured to capture an image of a tire mounted on a vehicle;
- and
- circuitry configured to:
- determine whether or not uneven wear has occurred in the tire, based on the captured image captured by the camera;
- acquire transition information indicating transition of a remaining groove of the tire;
- and
- predict a remaining service life of the tire based on a degree of progress of the uneven wear determined based on the captured image and the transition information if it is determined that the uneven wear has occurred.
A tire remaining service life prediction method executed by one or more processors of a tire remaining service life prediction system including a camera configured to capture an image of a tire mounted on a vehicle, the tire remaining service life prediction method comprising:
- determining whether or not uneven wear has occurred in the tire, based on the captured image captured by the camera;
- acquiring transition information indicating transition of a remaining groove of the tire;
- and
- predicting a remaining service life of the tire, based on a degree of progress of the uneven wear determined based on the captured image and the transition information in a case that it is determined that uneven wear has occurred in the tire.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium including computer program code, which when executed by a tire remaining service life prediction system including a camera configured to capture an image of a tire mounted on a vehicle, causes the remaining service life prediction system to:
- determine whether or not uneven wear has occurred in the tire, based on the captured image captured by the camera;
- acquire transition information indicating transition of a remaining groove of the tire;
- and
- predict a remaining service life of the tire based on a degree of progress of the uneven wear determined based on the captured image and the transition information in a case that it is determined that the uneven wear has occurred.
