Patent ID: 7121011

Claim:
A system for aligning a control sensor mounted on a host vehicle, the system comprising: a plurality of optical targets for mounting at predetermined points on the vehicle; an image processing aligner comprising at least one first image sensor and a processor for processing image signals representing an image containing one or more of the plurality of optical targets for computing a line of the host vehicle; two optical adjustment elements for cooperating to align an axis of the control sensor parallel to the line of the host vehicle, a first one of the optical adjustment elements being mountable in alignment with an axis of the control sensor and for movement with adjustment of the control sensor; a second image sensor for coupling to the processor of the image processing wheel aligner; and a stand for location across the line of the host vehicle, the stand mounting a second one of the adjustment elements and mounting the second image sensor to enable imaging of at least one of the targets through the second image sensor and processing of image signals from the second image sensor to facilitate alignment of the second of the adjustment elements relative to the line of the host vehicle.
