First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining surface wear comprising:
- capturing an image of an object surface via an input device;
detecting a surface pattern from the captured image;
identifying object data associated with the object surface based on the surface pattern and histogram data for the captured image; and
determining a surface wear value of the object surface based on the object data and the surface pattern, wherein a remaining tire life is calculated based on the surface wear value and a minimum tread life that is specified in the identified object data.

Abstract
Implementations of the present disclosure provide a method and system for surface wear determination. According to one implementation, an image of an object surface is captured via an input device. A surface pattern is detected from the captured image and object data associated with the object surface is identified based on the detected pattern. Additionally, a surface wear value of the object surface is determined based on the object data and surface pattern.

13. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored executable instructions, that when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
-
receive an image of a surface of a tire from an input device; analyze the image to detect a tread pattern of the tire from histogram data for the image; determine a current tread width of the tire based on the tread pattern and the tire information for the tire; and calculate a tire wear value based on the current tread width and original depth information that is specified in the tire information for the tire, wherein a remaining tire life is calculated based on the tire wear value and a minimum tread life that is specified in the tire information for the tire. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
