AB  - The aim of this work is to verify the reliability of optical inspection of tires during their transport on a roller conveyor, with an emphasis on the accuracy of 3D scanning in real and simulated operating conditions. A measuring box was designed and constructed to eliminate environmental interference, and measurements were subsequently compared with different degrees of site coverage. Testing was carried out using a 3D sensor O3D302 operating on the Time-of-Flight principle, and spatial data in the form of point clouds were obtained and compared with the reference dimensions of the Nokian WR D4 tire. The effects of solar IR radiation, rain, surface moisture, and natural lighting conditions were analyzed, which caused different levels of deformation, noise, and measurement deviations. The results show that significant errors occur without coverage, while the measuring box significantly reduces these deviations and increases the stability of point data. Complete coverage from above and below proved to be the most effective solution, but the wet tire surface remains a significant source of interference. The work further proposes structural modifications to the box and recommends the application of a matte surface and the expansion of tests to include the effects of vibrations and real conveyor operation. The result is a technical evaluation of the measurements and recommendations for improving optical tire detection in the industrial process.
