Device, method and usage for checking vehicle suspension alignment

NOVELTY – The device has eight cameras and four optical posts, where the optical pole has two rods interconnected at certain height and distance between the rods. The optical pole is made from aluminum, where each camera is fixed at a height of 400 millimeters on each rod of the optical pole. One of the cameras is rotated relative to the wheel to be measured. USE – Device for checking the alignment of wheel suspension, particularly vehicle suspension (Claimed), through computer vision. ADVANTAGE – The vehicle suspension alignment is accurately measured through the computer vision with minimal manipulation in the measurements. The alignment is measured without contacting the wheels, where the use of raw material is reduced to increase the ease of measurement, simplicity and economic feasibility. DETAILED DESCRIPTION – An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a method for measuring angles. DESCRIPTION OF DRAWING(S) – The drawing shows a schematic perspective view of a vehicle. Axes (X-a,Y-a,Z-a)
