One of the crucial tasks in the field of automobiles is
the verification of the wheel characteristic angles as the
specification given by the manufacturer. The automation in the
process can be done by the use of machine vision instead of the
conventional way of finding the wheel angels by mounting the
measurement equipment on the wheel. This paper deals with the
contactless measurement of wheel angle by the use of the 3D
stereo vision system. The method in this paper was tested for set
of various images and the error in the angles obtained is with the
pixel accuracy.
