Inspection method for a tyre, comprising: - in a first sequence: - rotating the tyre about its axis and simultaneously carrying out at least a first acquisition of at least one at least partial macroscopic image of the inner shape and/or the outer shape of the tyre; - analysing this macroscopic image with the aid of digital image processing algorithms and comparing it with at least one representative stored reference image, in order to detect any deviations from the standard, and delivering either a rejection signal or an acceptance signal for the tyre; characterized in that the method comprises: - in a second sequence: - either discharging the tyre if the rejection signal is sent, - or, if the acceptance signal is sent: rotating the tyre about its axis and simultaneously carrying out at least a second acquisition of at least one at least partial microscopic image of the inner surface and/or the outer shape of the tyre; and analysing this microscopic image with the aid of digital image processing algorithms and comparing it with at least one stored reference image representing a desired surface condition of the tyre, so as to detect any local deviations of the tyre surface and in order to deliver corresponding signals. - in an intermediate sequence between said first and second image acquisitions: - rotating the tyre about its axis while simultaneously carrying out an operation of brushing at least part of the outer surface of the tyre. - in a first sequence: - rotating the tyre about its axis and simultaneously carrying out at least a first acquisition of at least one at least partial macroscopic image of the inner shape and/or the outer shape of the tyre; - analysing this macroscopic image with the aid of digital image processing algorithms and comparing it with at least one representative stored reference image, in order to detect any deviations from the standard, and delivering either a rejection signal or an acceptance signal for the tyre; - rotating the tyre about its axis and simultaneously carrying out at least a first acquisition of at least one at least partial macroscopic image of the inner shape and/or the outer shape of the tyre; - analysing this macroscopic image with the aid of digital image processing algorithms and comparing it with at least one representative stored reference image, in order to detect any deviations from the standard, and delivering either a rejection signal or an acceptance signal for the tyre; - in a second sequence: - either discharging the tyre if the rejection signal is sent, - or, if the acceptance signal is sent: rotating the tyre about its axis and simultaneously carrying out at least a second acquisition of at least one at least partial microscopic image of the inner surface and/or the outer shape of the tyre; and analysing this microscopic image with the aid of digital image processing algorithms and comparing it with at least one stored reference image representing a desired surface condition of the tyre, so as to detect any local deviations of the tyre surface and in order to deliver corresponding signals. - either discharging the tyre if the rejection signal is sent, - or, if the acceptance signal is sent: rotating the tyre about its axis and simultaneously carrying out at least a second acquisition of at least one at least partial microscopic image of the inner surface and/or the outer shape of the tyre; and analysing this microscopic image with the aid of digital image processing algorithms and comparing it with at least one stored reference image representing a desired surface condition of the tyre, so as to detect any local deviations of the tyre surface and in order to deliver corresponding signals. rotating the tyre about its axis and simultaneously carrying out at least a second acquisition of at least one at least partial microscopic image of the inner surface and/or the outer shape of the tyre; and analysing this microscopic image with the aid of digital image processing algorithms and comparing it with at least one stored reference image representing a desired surface condition of the tyre, so as to detect any local deviations of the tyre surface and in order to deliver corresponding signals. - in an intermediate sequence between said first and second image acquisitions: - rotating the tyre about its axis while simultaneously carrying out an operation of brushing at least part of the outer surface of the tyre. - rotating the tyre about its axis while simultaneously carrying out an operation of brushing at least part of the outer surface of the tyre.
