Vehicle testing system with camera and control device for precision
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11993249B2) discloses a vehicle testing system designed to test a vehicle or a part of a vehicle on a test bench. The system includes a camera that captures images of a state display portion of the test body, showing the states of the vehicle to the driver. A control device then processes these images, with a recognition portion identifying the state of the test body and a test control portion initiating predetermined tests based on the recognized state. Additionally, the system may incorporate features such as an automatic driving device for driving the test body, an analysis device for exhaust gas analysis, and a data storage portion for storing image data associated with the states of the test body.
Furthermore, the patent also outlines a vehicle testing method based on the same principles, where the state of the test body is recognized through images of the state display portion and predetermined tests are controlled accordingly. The system is designed to simulate driving conditions on a test bench, with the camera capturing images of the test body for analysis. The recognition portion plays a crucial role in identifying the state of the test body, allowing for precise control of the testing process. Overall, the patented technology aims to streamline and enhance the vehicle testing process by utilizing image recognition and automated control mechanisms to ensure accurate and efficient testing procedures.
