Abstract

A method of using a sensor device for tire inspection is provided. Signals are received from multiples rows of sensors separated by a predetermined distance. The sensors are positioned next to the inner surface of the tire for inspection. Signals from the different rows of sensors are used to identify e.g., breaks in the reinforcements of the tire and also used to identify undesirable signals generated from vibration or jarring of the sensor device.
