Abstract: A system configured for verification of imaged target detection performs the following: (a) receive information indicative of at least two images of object(s). This information comprises candidate target detection region(s), indicative of possible detection of a target associated with the object(s). Images have at least partial overlap. The candidate region(s) appears at least partially in the overlap area. The images are associated with different relative positions of capturing imaging device(s) and of an imaged portion of the object(s). (b) process the information to determine whether the candidate region(s) meets a detection repetition criterion, the criterion indicative of repetition of candidate region(s) in locations of the images that are associated with a same location on a data representation of the object(s). (c) if the criterion is met, classify the candidate region(s) as verified target detection region(s). This facilitates output of an indication of the verified region(s).

Abstract: There are provided a system and a method of automatic tire inspection, the method comprising: obtaining at least one image capturing a wheel of a vehicle; segmenting the at least one image into image segments including a tire image segment corresponding to a tire of the wheel; straightening the tire image segment from a curved shape to a straight shape, giving rise to a straight tire segment; identifying text marked on the tire from the straight tire segment, comprising: detecting locations of a plurality of text portions on the straight tire segment, and recognizing text content for each of the text portions; and analyzing the recognized text content based on one or more predefined rules indicative of association between text content of different text portions at given relative locations, giving rise to a text analysis result indicative of condition of the tire.

Abstract: A method and system are provided for estimating tire tread depth, the method comprising: obtaining an image of the tire informative of tread and grooves embedded therein, wherein the image is acquired by an imaging device from a first angle relative to a horizontal direction perpendicular to tread surface, and the tire is illuminated by an illumination device from a second angle relative to the horizontal direction, causing a shadow section and an illuminated section at the bottom and/or sidewall of a groove, the first angle being smaller than the second angle, such that the image captures the illuminated section and at least part of the shadow section; performing segmentation on the image to obtain image segments corresponding to the illuminated section and the at least part of the shadow section; and estimating the tread depth based on the image segments, the groove width, and the second angle.
