How to Identify Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) Information?
2 Answers
Identifying vehicle identification number (VIN) information can be done through the following three methods: 1. Real-time scanning: Encapsulate the system camera to instantly complete VIN identification via a 'scan' function. 2. Photo recognition: Use the system camera to take a photo first, then process the entire image for VIN identification. 3. Album import recognition: Utilize existing VIN images for identification, supporting recognition at 90°, 180°, and 270° orientations. Below is more information about VIN identification: 1. The VIN, also known as the Vehicle Identification Number, is a unique code assigned by the manufacturer to identify a vehicle. 2. The VIN consists of a 17-character alphanumeric code, also referred to as the 17-digit identification code, chassis number, or 17-digit number. The combination of these characters ensures that no two vehicles of the same model will have the same number within 30 years, providing a unique identifier for each vehicle—hence its nickname, the 'car ID card.' 3. VIN recognition technology is applicable to automotive aftermarket industries such as auto repair, automotive finance, auto parts, and used car trading. VIN identification provides a data entry point for the automotive aftermarket, offering technical support for efficient and accurate automated operations.
The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is a 17-character string, commonly seen by us mechanics, serving as the car's ID card. It's usually found on a sticker at the lower left corner of the windshield or on the door frame, and some cars also have it under the hood. The key to decoding the information lies in the VIN: the first digit represents the country code, for example, 1 stands for the USA, and L for China; the 10th digit indicates the manufacturing year, like Y for 2000, 1 for 2001, and so on; the second digit shows the manufacturer, such as T for Toyota; the middle part describes the model, engine, and other details. My usual method for checking this is simple—note down the number, search online for a 'VIN decoder', input it, and the details pop up instantly, super convenient, and it helps car owners avoid pitfalls when buying used cars. Doing it manually is too cumbersome and error-prone, especially with minor changes in the coding rules of new models, so online tools are the most reliable.
