    摘要: Systems and methods for a global headlamp. An example method includes obtaining configuration information indicative of a jurisdiction associated with a vehicle. Headlamp state information is accessed which includes multiple headlamp states. A current headlamp state of the multiple headlamp states is determined based on the configuration information. A propagation is output via a pixelated light source in a headlamp of the vehicle, the propagation representing a particular beam pattern which is compliant with the jurisdiction.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a headlamp control system. The front headlamp control system and a control method thereof according to the present invention are highly applicable to existing vehicles and are capable of efficiently controlling light of a front headlamp by adjusting a light quantity of the front headlamp based on a combination of navigation information and camera information in addition to a steering angle of a steering wheel, and are capable of increasing visibility of an area in front of a driver by calculating a light-off section in a case where there is a preceding vehicle and increasing, in a case where a changed position of a high luminance region overlaps the light-off section, a range of a central luminance region in a horizontal direction or a vertical direction to maintain the high luminance region.

    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and devices for providing optimized simultaneous illumination for human vision and machine based navigation vision on a semi-autonomous vehicle. In one embodiment, a system includes a first control output configured to provide first illumination control information including first active cycle times for a first illumination source. The first illumination source is configured to provide a first frequency band of illumination for machine vision navigation of the semi-autonomous vehicle. The system further includes a second control output configured to provide second illumination control information including second active cycle times for a second illumination source. The second illumination source is configured to provide a second frequency band of illumination for a human driver of the semi-autonomous vehicle. The system further includes a first monitor input configured to receive ambient illumination information from a camera system.

    摘要: A light emitting device for a leaning vehicle, including a pair of cornering lamps, including a first cornering lamp and a second cornering lamp, that emit light to form a single left-front light emission area and a single right-front light emission area, and a control device that controls light emission by the pair of cornering lamps based on a lean angle of the vehicle body. The control device is configured to cause a first quantity of light and a second quantity of light, which are respectively a quantity of light outputted from the at least one light source included in the first cornering lamp and in the second cornering lamp, respectively, to vary in accordance with the lean angle of the vehicle body, such that each of the single left-front light emission area and the single right-front light emission area becomes larger as the lean angle of the vehicle body increases.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a lamp system including a digital micro-mirror device (DMD) module, and more particularly, to a system and method for improving life characteristics of a DMD module. A DMD lamp and a method of controlling a DMD lamp of the present invention may improve a life of a DMD module by measuring a temperature of the DMD module in real time and controlling operations of the DMD module and a light source when the temperature of the DMD module rises above a certain temperature, and improve the life of the DMD module by adjusting a ratio of an ON mode/OFF mode of the DMD module to the same ratio and automatically compensating for the insufficient amount of light to reduce the consumption of an angle adjusting unit of a mirror to a minimum while maintaining the output amount of light.

    摘要: A vehicle lighting control device includes: a control determination unit that determines whether or not a state of a vehicle is a control target state in which an arrival time required for the vehicle to arrive at a tunnel is less than a predetermined reference arrival time; and a lighting controller that executes a first control to control a headlight to a low beam when a forward vehicle is detected and to control the headlight to a high beam when the forward vehicle is not detected. The lighting controller is configured to prevent the headlight from being switched to the high beam in the first control when determination is made that the vehicle is in the control target state even when a state in which the forward vehicle is detected is changed to a state in which the forward vehicle is not detected.
