An underbody inspection system developed by Elscope Vision

An underbody inspection system (UBIS), also known as an under vehicle inspection system (UVIS) or undercarriage inspection system, is a security technology designed to examine the underside of vehicles for potential threats or anomalies. The undercarriage scanner, developed by Elscope Vision, can inspect a vehicle's underbody automatically.

The primary components of a UBIS typically include:

 Imaging devices: These can be cameras, laser scanners, or other sensors positioned to capture high-resolution images or scans of the vehicle's undercarriage as it passes over the inspection system.

Lighting system: Proper lighting is crucial for obtaining clear images of the undercarriage, especially in low-light conditions or shaded areas.

Scanning platform: This is the surface over which the vehicle travels while being inspected. It may include sensors or detectors to detect anomalies such as foreign objects, alterations to the vehicle's structure, or potential threats.

Image processing software: Advanced software algorithms analyze the captured images or scans to automatically detect suspicious items or irregularities. These algorithms can flag potential threats, highlight areas of concern, and assist security personnel in making informed decisions.

Operator interface: A user-friendly interface allows security personnel to view the inspection results in real-time, zoom in on specific areas of interest, and manually inspect suspicious findings if necessary.

In addition to security applications, UBIS can also be used for vehicle safety inspections, maintenance checks, and regulatory compliance purposes in industries such as transportation and logistics.
