Embodiment Construction

[0035] reference Figure 1A and 1B , according to an embodiment of the present invention vehicle imaging table is generally shown in 10. Vehicle imaging station 10 for taking an image of the vehicle 12, the image may be used to identify damage in the form of scratches and dents on the outer side plate or other surface of the vehicle.

[0036] Vehicle imaging station 10 is arranged around the vehicle path 14, the vehicle path 14 may be suitable for any path of vehicle 12 traveling along the direction D. Path 14 is a straight linear path in the illustrated embodiment, but may take any form in other embodiments.

[0037] Vehicle imaging station 10 includes channel 16, the channel 16 is arranged so that the vehicle path 14 can pass through channel 16. In this embodiment, the channel having two substantially flat sidewall portions 16a, 16b, the top of the sidewall portion 16a, 16b is connected by an orthogonal extension of the roughly planar top wall 16c to form a single structure.

Abstract

A vehicle imaging station for capturing images of vehicle scratches and dents, the vehicle imaging station comprising: a channel having an entrance and an exit, the channel having an enclosure defined by one or more walls between the entrance and the exit to define a channel space containing a vehicle path having a central axis; a structured light source for emitting structured light to the vehicle path to illuminate the vehicle on the path using a structured light image; a first camera provided with a field of view comprising / containing / surrounding a structured light portion of the channel space wherein the structured light image is shot by a vehicle moving along the vehicle path as visible to the first camera; a second camera provided with a field of view comprising an unstructured light portion of the channel space wherein the structured light image is not reflected as visible to the second camera when the vehicle moves along the vehicle path; and a non-reflective, non-illuminated surface within the passageway, the non-reflective, non-illuminated surface being located on the same side as the central axis of the vehicle path as the second camera.

Description

Background [0001] Over time, the vehicle may suffer external damage, such as scratches and dents, or structural damage. [0002] The present inventors have found that the existing vehicle imaging stage may have a large mechanical footprint and / or both time-consuming and laborious, and / or can not be simultaneously imaged scratches and dents in a stroke. Contents of the Invention [0003] According to a first aspect of the present invention, there is provided a vehicle imaging station, the vehicle imaging station for capturing vehicle scratches and dent images, comprising: [0004] Having an inlet and exit channel, the channel having a paddock defined by one or more walls between the entrance and the outlet, to define the passage space comprising a vehicle path having a central axis; [0005] Structured light source, the structured light source for emitting structured light to the vehicle path, to illuminate the vehicle on the path using a structured light image; [0006] The f...
