FAQ

Q. What information can Dr.Sidewall extract from a tire sidewall image?Open answer

The core information provided by Dr.Sidewall is tire size specification, which is the most critical data point for tire sales and replacement. Additional information such as brand, model name, and DOT codes can be supported under an Advanced plan upon request.

Q. What image quality is required for accurate sidewall recognition?Open answer

Many consumers struggle to read tire sidewall information themselves, and the required markings may not always be clearly visible at first glance. For best results, the photo should include as much of the entire sidewall area as possible. Dr.Sidewall is trained to perform reliably even in low-light environments, such as underground parking garages.

Q. How does Dr.Sidewall read sidewall text that is hard to see or rotated?Open answer

Tire sidewalls have unique textures and curved surfaces, making them difficult for general-purpose OCR solutions. Dr.Sidewall uses tire-specific OCR technology, optimized for sidewall textures, distortions, and rotations - allowing it to accurately read text that traditional OCR systems often fail to recognize.

Q. In what formats is Dr.Sidewall available as a service?Open answer

Dr.Sidewall supports flexible deployment options: - API-based integration for direct system embedding - Web link-based access using a dedicated service URL - Automated report output, available depending on the selected service plan

Q. Who benefits most from using Dr.Sidewall in their business?Open answer

Dr.Sidewall is most commonly used in combination with Dr.Tread. When tire wear is detected, accurate tire size information becomes essential for recommending replacement products. This makes Dr.Sidewall especially valuable for platforms and services that want to convert tire inspection results into actionable product recommendations.
