20230225035 · 2023-07-13 ·

A system for controlling a pixelated lighting device (1) is configured to determine a location of a further light source (29) relative to the pixelated lighting device and obtain original light settings (91-99) for the pixelated lighting device. The pixelated lighting device comprises a plurality of individually addressable light segments (11-19) and the original light settings are associated with respective ones of the individually addressable light segments. The system is further configured to obtain a further original light setting (89) for the further light source, adjust the original light settings based on the further original light setting and the relative location of the further light source, and control the individually addressable light segments to emit light according to the adjusted original light settings.

An illumination control system is configured for operative association with a vehicle lighting system of an emergency vehicle, such as a fire truck or other first responder type of vehicle. The illumination control system includes a video analysis module configured for receiving data from one or more cameras positioned on an exterior of the vehicle, and each camera has an associated region of interest (ROI) defined for a field-of-view for the camera. An artificial intelligence (AI) module is provided to detect whether a person or object of interest has entered the ROI of the camera. The control system includes an algorithm processing module programmed for executing logic associated with one or more decision-making tasks in association with the operation of the AI module. Also, a light control module can be provided for communicating instructions for activating or deactivating various scene lights of the vehicle lighting system.

AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM CONTROL FOR AUTONOMOUS MACHINE APPLICATIONS
20230211722 · 2023-07-06 ·

In various examples, high beam control for vehicles may be automated using a deep neural network (DNN) that processes sensor data received from vehicle sensors. The DNN may process the sensor data to output pixel-level semantic segmentation masks in order to differentiate actionable objects (e.g., vehicles with front or back lights lit, bicyclists, or pedestrians) from other objects (e.g., parked vehicles). Resulting segmentation masks output by the DNN(s), when combined with one or more post processing steps, may be used to generate masks for automated high beam on/off activation and/or dimming or shading—thereby providing additional illumination of an environment for the driver while controlling downstream effects of high beam glare for active vehicles.
