Abstract

An optical measurement system for measuring one or more portions of an object such as a vehicle (116) and solving the issues relating to attitude of the vehicle (116) while measuring the one or more portions of the vehicle, is disclosed. The optical measurement system comprising a diagnostic, measurement and repair equipment arranged on the object for example the vehicle (116) via a rigid linkingstructure. The system comprises a measuring head (108) and one or more targets comprising one or more set of photodiodes. The measuring head (108) is mounted under or on the vehicle (116). The systemis configured to measure parameters representative of the vehicle (116). The system further comprises a computing device (102) in communication with the equipment, comprising set of instructions to determine a position of the target regarding to a reference point. The location of the point is then compared to an original location of the point to determine the damage in the vehicle (116).

Description

technical field

[0001] The present invention relates generally to diagnosis, measurement and repair of vehicles, and more particularly to an optical system for diagnosing the state of a structure of a vehicle such as a frame or a body with high precision. The present invention can also be applied to other technical fields as long as an optical system is required to measure an object or to position a catcher or a sensor for measuring an object. Background technique

[0002] As vehicles become more advanced, the diagnostics, measurement and repair processes of vehicles require data that must be precise. Furthermore, bodybuilders and insurance workers need portable devices that can give all the information needed to assess the condition of the vehicle. This evaluation must be done quickly and with high precision. Some conventional systems for solving the above-mentioned problems are explained below. A few installations involved setting the damaged vehicle on a lift through a...
