    摘要: In an illumination apparatus arranged on a vehicle, image data of a plurality of pixels of an imaging region in front of the vehicle is created and an image processor calculates a luminance of each of the pixels on the basis of the image data. A controller is configured to calculate an average luminance of each of partial regions of the imaging region on the basis of the luminance of each of the pixels, to determine whether it is necessary to perform luminance adjustment for each of the partial regions, and to perform luminance adjustment for the partial region on the basis of a result of the determination. An illuminating unit having a plurality of light sources illuminates the partial region while allowing each light source to be adjusted so as to have a predetermined light quantity on the basis of the result of the luminance adjustment.

    摘要: The occlusion is faithfully expressed even in the binocular vision in the AR display by a head mounted display apparatus or the like. A head mounted display apparatus 10 includes a lens 12, a lens 13, a camera 14, a camera 15, and a control processor 16. A CG image for a right eye is displayed on the lens 12. A CG image for a left eye is displayed on the lens 13. The camera 14 captures an image for the right eye. The camera 15 captures an image for the left eye. The control processor 16 generates the CG image for the right eye in which occlusion at the time of seeing by the right eye is expressed and the CG image for the left eye in which occlusion at the time of seeing by the left eye is expressed, based on the images captured by the cameras 14 and 15 and projects the generated CG image for the right eye and CG image for the left eye onto the lenses 12 and 13. A center of a lens of the camera 14 is provided at the same position as a center of the lens 12. A center of a lens of the camera 15 is provided at the same position as a center of the lens 13.

    摘要: Reliability of an in-vehicle headlight is improved by changing a light distribution pattern without using any mechanical configuration. The in-vehicle headlight includes a laser light source 1, a spatial light modulator 3, a spatial-light-modulator controller, and a projection lens 5. The laser light source 1 emits a laser light beam 10. The spatial light modulator 3 modulates a phase distribution of the laser light beam 10 emitted by the laser light source 1. The spatial-light-modulator controller is provided in a headlight controller 36, and controls the spatial light modulator 3. The spatial-light-modulator controller controls the spatial light modulator 3 so as to modulate the phase distribution of the laser light beam 10, and changes the light distribution pattern projected from the projection lens 5.
