Wipe analysis system.

摘要

A method for analyzing the performance of one or more wiper blades (60) includes wetting a predetermined area (12) of a windshield (10). The wiper blade (60) is passed across the predetermined area (12) and the area optically scanned by a video camera (C). Image data is recorded by the video camera (C) and fed to a data processor (D). The data processor, for example a microcomputer, analyzes the image data. Gray scale analysis and dividing the image data to focus on selected portions of the windshield (10) provide an objective test of the wiping quality of a wiper blade (60). A report, including graphic representation of the test results, is generated. <IMAGE> <IMAGE> <IMAGE>
