WHEEL ALIGNER-BASED METHOD FOR ALIGNING CALIBRATION DEVICE WITH VEHICLE AND CALIBRATION SYSTEM

The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile calibrations, and discloses a method for aligning a calibration device with a vehicle based on a wheel aligner and a calibration system. The wheel aligner includes an image sensor and a computer. The method includes: controlling, by the computer, at least one image sensor to image a vehicle-mounted object on a vehicle and process the obtained image, to determine a position of the vehicle; controlling, by the computer, the at least one image sensor to image a reference object on a calibration device and process the obtained image, to determine a position of the calibration device; and determining, by the computer, an adjusting mode of the calibration device according to the position of the vehicle and the position of the calibration device, so that the calibration device is aligned with the vehicle according to an anticipated position or direction. In the method, the position of the vehicle and the position of the calibration device are determined by using the wheel aligner, and the computer determines the adjusting mode of the calibration device according to the position of the vehicle and the position of the calibration device and guides an operator to accurately align the calibration device with the vehicle.
