  • Using sound to detect vehicle body anomalies
    Patent number: 12198480
    Abstract: A system for detecting vehicle body damage is disclosed. One or more ultrasonic transceivers are installed on a portion of the vehicle body and configured to transmit and receive ultrasonic sound waves. One or more controllers are coupled to the one or more ultrasonic transceivers. The one or more controllers are programmed to cause the ultrasonic transceiver to emit first ultrasonic sound waves and receive first reflected ultrasonic sound waves, store in memory first sound signature data relating to the first reflected ultrasonic sound waves, cause the ultrasonic transceiver to emit second ultrasonic sound waves and receive second ultrasonic sound waves, and determine a presence of damage on the portion of the vehicle body based on second sound signature data relating to the second reflected ultrasonic sound waves deviating from the first sound signature data.
