System for recognizing wheels by artificial vision
First Claim
1. A system for recognizing wheels by artificial vision comprising:
- wheel locating means;
first image capturing means;
first lighting means;
first control means comprising;
first communicating means for communications between the first control means and the first image capturing means;
second communicating means for communications between the first control means and the first lighting means;
wherein;
the first image capturing means and the first lighting means are arranged above the wheel locating means so as to enable the first image capturing means to capture a front image of a wheel to obtain a captured front image;

Abstract
The system includes wheel locating equipment, image capturing equipment, lighting equipment, a first control device, first communicating installations for communications between the first control device and the image capturing equipment, and second communicating installations for communications between the first control device and the lighting equipment. The image capturing equipment and the lighting equipment are arranged above the wheel locating equipment so as to enable the image capturing equipment to capture an image of a wheel. The first communicating installations sends the image to the first control device and the first control device processes the image to obtain data for identifying a wheel model. The invention also includes the process using the described system. The main step of the process is converting a circular portion of an image into a rectangular image by a polar transformation.
