Abstract:
1. A process of producing and viewing through the Internet of high-resolution images which are stored on a server, of the commonly viewed exterior surfaces of a vehicle, while maintaining the same background view for multiple images of the vehicle, comprising: producing multiple images of a vehicle by concurrent, unidirectional revolution of both an imaging device mounted on a first support having wheels which rest on a support surface, and a display on one surface of a second support having wheels which rest on the support surface, and wherein the wheels on the first and second supports rotate on an axis such that an arc the first and second supports follow as they move on the support surface can be altered; and where the first and second supports are opposed and linked by electronic beams which run between and join the edges of the first and second supports together, wherein the electronic beams are positioned high enough relative to the support surface such that the vehicle passes freely underneath the electronic beams during each said unidirectional revolution, wherein the electronic beams, emitted from the first support or the second support, are used to verify the relative positions of the first support and the second support with respect to each other, and wherein the vehicle having an exterior surface is in a fixed position between the first and second supports resting on the support surface, such that as the imaging device captures multiple images of the vehicle, the display is also captured in each of said images, wherein the images are sufficiently pixilated such that damage to the vehicle exterior surface can be viewed when the images are displayed; uploading the images to a server; and viewing the images by accessing the images on the server through the Internet.
