Provided herein is a headlamp assembly comprising a housing that encloses: a sensor that acquires data associated with a surrounding environment; a light source that illuminates a field of view comprising a portion of the surrounding environment; and one or more processors that analyze the acquired data and determine a direction, field of view, power, or an intensity of the illumination of the portion based on the analyzed data.

COMPOSITIONAL MULTISPECTRAL AND HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING SYSTEMS FOR MINING SHOVELS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS
20230160182 · 2023-05-25 ·

Mining shovel with compositional multispectral and/or hyperspectral imaging and associated methods and systems are disclosed herein. In some embodiments, a mining detection system includes a mining bucket carrying a multispectral and/or hyperspectral imaging system and various sensors directed toward material entering and positioned within the bucket. The bucket can also carry a control enclosure housing image and sensor processing equipment that receives and analyzes the data collected by the multispectral and/or hyperspectral imaging system and the sensors. The disclosed systems and methods can provide real-time compositional analysis of mined materials at the mining site, which can be used to manage a mining field, including generating and transmitting instructions for where the material within the bucket should be delivered based on the data collected from the multispectral and/or hyperspectral imaging system and the sensors.

Sensor system, sensor module, and lamp device

A LiDAR sensor (41) is configured to sense information of an outside of a vehicle. An ultrasonic sensor (42) is configured to sense information of the outside of the vehicle in a different manner from the LiDAR sensor (41). A first bracket (43) supports the LiDAR sensor (41) and the ultrasonic sensor (42). A first sensor actuator (44) is configured to adjust a sensing reference position of the LiDAR sensor (41) relative to the first bracket (43). A second sensor actuator (45) is configured to adjust a sensing reference position of the ultrasonic sensor (42) relative to first bracket (43). A first bracket actuator (46) is configured to adjust at least one of a position and a posture of the first bracket (43) relative to the vehicle.

Sensor system

A left front camera (11) is adapted to be mounted on a left front lamp (1LF) of a vehicle to obtain external information of at least ahead of the vehicle. A right front LiDAR sensor (12), a type of which is different from the camera (11), is adapted to be mounted on a right front lamp (1RF) of the vehicle to obtain external information of at least ahead of the vehicle.

A vehicle infrared lamp system mounted on a vehicle equipped with an infrared camera includes: an infrared light source; a rotating reflector; an other-vehicle position acquisition unit configured to acquire position information of another vehicle; and a control unit configured to control a lighting state of the infrared light source based on the position information of the other vehicle acquired by the other-vehicle position acquisition unit such that a dimming region where radiant intensity of infrared light is lower than radiant intensity of any other region is formed on at least a part of the other vehicle.

Camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus and side mirror including the same

A camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprising a lens module; an image sensor; a light source; and a mirror module, the light source is disposed so that light emitted from the light source intersects an optical axis of the lens module in the first area, the light source being disposed in a second area outside the first area, the mirror module includes a mirror that is formed to rotate about one side thereof located in the second area as a rotation axis so as to switch between a first state where at least a portion of the mirror is moved to and disposed in the first area and a second state where the mirror is moved to and disposed in the second area, a light path of the lens module is disposed to be reflected by the mirror and directed to the light source in the first state, and the light path of the lens module is disposed to be directed to the image sensor in the second state, and the camera-puddle lamp integrated apparatus operates as a puddle lamp in the first state and operates as a camera in the second state.

LIDAR SYSTEM EMITTING VISIBLE LIGHT TO INDUCE EYE AVERSION
20220334261 · 2022-10-20 · ·

A lidar system includes a light detector having a field of view. The lidar system includes one or more light emitters. At least one of the one or more light emitters emits infrared light into the field of view of the light detector and at least one of the one or more light emitters emits visible light into the field of view of the light detector. The visible light emitted from the lidar system encourages eye aversion, e.g., by pedestrians, vehicle occupants, etc., to reduce the likelihood of eye exposure to the infrared light emitted by the lidar system.

Adaptive lighting system

A lighting system for a vehicle having a vehicle structure has a housing and a lens. A plurality of light sources are disposed within the housing. A sensor is disposed between the housing and the lens and senses a condition outside the lens.

Lighting system for a refuse vehicle

A refuse vehicle includes a chassis, a vehicle body supported by the chassis, a lift assembly, and a projector. The vehicle body defines a receptacle for storing refuse. The lift assembly is configured to selectively engage a waste container. The lift assembly is movable between a first position and a second position. The projector is positioned to emit light outwardly away from the refuse vehicle and proximate the lift assembly to define a target area.

INSTALLATION DEVICE
