An apparatus for determining the position and alignment of wheels, including targets (130) for attachment to the wheels (112-115), a pair of optical sensing means such as television cameras (122, 124) for viewing the targets, an electronic processing means connected to the optical sensing means for processing data relating to images of the targets to determine position and alignment information, and a display means for displaying the position and alignment information. The optical sensing means view a target and form an image. Electronic signals corresponding to each of the images are transferred to the electronic processing means which correlates the image signals of each of the targets with the true shape of each target. The processing means relates the geometric characteristics and positional interrelationships of certain known elements of the target with corresponding elements in the viewed images and calculates the position and alignment of the wheels to which the targets are attached.

Dispositif permettant de déterminer la position et l'alignement des roues. Ce dispositif comprend des cibles (130) qui se fixent sur les roues (112, 115), deux dispositifs de détection optiques tels que des caméras de télévision (122, 124) qui visualisent les cibles, un dispositif électronique de traitement relié au dispositif optique et assurant le traitement des données relatives aux images des cibles pour établir des informations concernant la position et l'alignement, et un dispositif de visualisation assurant l'affichage des informations concernant la position et l'alignement. Le dispositif optique visualise la cible et forme une image. Des signaux électroniques correspondant à chacune des images sont transmises au dispositif électronique de traitement, lequel établit une correlation entre les signaux d'images de chacune des cibles et la forme véritable de chaque cible. Le dispositif de traitement établit une relation entre les caractéristiques géométriques et les relations mutuelles de position de certains éléments connus de la cible avec les éléments correspondants des images visualisées puis calcule la position et l'alignement des roues sur lesquelles les cibles sont fixées.
