An automation system uses cameras (134) and sensors (136) to identify a set of vehicle wheels within a lift area (118), then virtualizes the position and orientation of the vehicle relative to the lift posts (122, 130). Lift arms (124, 132) extending from the lift posts are moved to a first position that places a profile camera near the predicted position of lift points, and image analysis is used to positively identify the lift points. The lift arms are then moved to a second position that places an adapter camera below the identified lift points, and image analysis is used to confirm safe positioning below the lift point. Captured images and feedback from image analysis are used to improve and refine the system's ability to identify wheels, profile view lift points, and plan view lift points. The system may be integrated with lift arms allowing for automated rotation, extension, and elevation of lift adapters.
一种自动化系统,所述自动化系统使用相机(134)和传感器(136)来识别升降区域(118)内的一组车轮,然后将车辆相对于升降柱(122、130)的位置和取向虚拟化。从所述升降柱延伸出的升降臂(124、132)被移动到第一位置,在所述第一位置,侧面相机被设置在升降点的预测位置附近,并使用图像分析来准确地识别所述升降点。而后所述升降臂被移动到第二位置,在所述第二位置,适配器相机被设置在所识别的升降点的下方,并使用图像分析来确认所述升降点下方的安全定位。使用捕获到的图像和来自图像分析的反馈来提高和改进系统识别车轮、侧面视图升降点和平面视图升降点的能力。所述系统能够与所述升降臂集成,以实现升降适配器的自动旋转、延伸和举升。
