Abstract:
The invention is related to systems and methods for optically measuring conditions and characteristics related to vehicle tires. In one embodiment, a tire monitoring system comprises a grid, a camera, and a processor. The grid can be configured to deform in conjunction with a deformation of the tire. The camera can be mounted optically proximate the grid and configured to acquire an image of the grid. The processor can be in communication with the camera and configured detect the deformation of the tire from the image.
