NuvoScan 3D Under-Vehicle Scanning System (UVSS)

The NuvoScan 3D is an automated under-vehicle scanning system that uses dual high-resolution area-scan cameras, precision LED array illumination, and an electromechanical sensor assembly to image the entire undercarriage of any vehicle passing over the in-ground or surface-mounted scanner bed. Unlike single-camera line-scan systems, the dual-camera arrangement captures simultaneous left and right underside views; proprietary area-by-area image composition software then synthesises a morphed 3D composite that eliminates occlusion blind spots common in earlier single-view UVSS technology. The system is designed for vehicle entry control at high-security perimeters — airports, government compounds, ports, and data centres — where the threat of vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices or contraband concealed beneath a chassis represents the primary risk vector. Vehicles drive over the scanner bed at walking pace; the system does not require the vehicle to stop, which maintains queue throughput at busy gate lanes. Image stop-and-go events during a pass do not degrade image continuity, making the system tolerant of gate queues. For aviation deployment the NuvoScan 3D is typically installed at airside vehicle access gates and cargo apron entry points, where the ability to compare real-time underside images against a reference database (registration-matched baseline image of enrolled fleet vehicles) provides a quantified change-detection capability rather than relying solely on operator vigilance. The integrated Vehiscan ANPR module captures number plates and driver images simultaneously, linking each scan record to a vehicle identity for audit trail and re-inspection flagging. Available in surface-mounted and embedded configurations to suit ground-level or sub-surface installation requirements.
