1. A computer-implemented method for measuring a physical parameter for a tire tread comprising a computer system automatically performing the steps of:

  • measuring a pressure distribution produced by a tire on a pressure sensor, the pressure sensor having an array of individual pressure sensing elements; and

    processing a pressure map based on the measured pressure distribution to determine a physical parameter for the tire tread, wherein the pressure map comprises sensels, and the step of processing the pressure map comprises removing artifacts from the pressure map based on which sensels within the pressure map are above a threshold pressure.
