A headlight system for a banking vehicle is provided. The headlight system includes a plurality of optical assemblies being arranged about an optical horizon and an optical vertical axis. Each of the plurality of optical assemblies includes an illumination source and an optical element. Each of the illumination sources is configured to direct light toward a corresponding one of the optical elements to produce an illumination region. The illumination regions combine to form an illumination pattern that includes at least one illumination region that is radial and is positioned relative an optical origin. The intersection between the optical horizon and the optical vertical axis defines the optical origin.

A vehicle headlight control device includes: an indicator value acquiring unit configured to acquire an indicator value that represents a brightness of an object detected ahead of an own vehicle; a light distribution control unit configured to control a light distribution of a headlight such that a quantity of light irradiated to the irradiation region where a dimming target object is present is reduced when the dimming target object is detected, the dimming target object being an object of which the indicator value is greater than a reference value; a reference-value varying unit configured to set the reference value to a first reference value when the object is detected within the gaze area and set the reference value to a second reference value that is greater than the first reference value when the object is detected outside of the gaze area.

The present disclosure relates to a head lamp system of a vehicle and an operating method thereof, and includes a vehicle sensor for detecting driving situations of a vehicle, a first Digital Micro mirror Device (DMD) module and a second DMD module that include a plurality of micro-mirrors, and a module controller for controlling the plurality of micro-mirrors included in the first and second DMD modules based on signals provided from the vehicle sensor.

An information processing device (10) according to an embodiment includes: a control unit (40) and a processing unit (30). The control unit controls driving of a light source (21) that can irradiate light to a subject surface in accordance with control information. An image adaptive to light irradiated on the subject surface from the light source is detected by an image sensor (20). The processing unit performs processing for acquiring state information indicating a state of the subject surface based on the image adaptive to light irradiated on the subject surface from the light source detected by the image sensor and the control information.

A vehicle headlight control device includes: an indicator value acquiring unit configured to acquire an indicator value that represents a brightness of an object detected ahead of an own vehicle; a light distribution control unit configured to control a light distribution of a headlight such that a quantity of light irradiated to the irradiation region where a dimming target object is present is reduced when the dimming target object is detected, the dimming target object being an object of which the indicator value is greater than a reference value; a reference-value varying unit configured to set the reference value to a first reference value when the object is detected within the gaze area and set the reference value to a second reference value that is greater than the first reference value when the object is detected outside of the gaze area.

A lamp system for traffic lane indication using a navigation link may include a multi-function sensor sensing an environment and a line in front of a host vehicle, a line lamp generating and outputting a prediction line at a location corresponding to a line of a road, a navigation device providing location information of the host vehicle, and a vehicle controller predicting a forward line based on a line sensed by the multi-function sensor, and the location information of the host vehicle provided by the navigation device and controlling the line lamp to output the prediction line to follow the predicted forward line.

An electronic device for a vehicle includes a power supply configured to supply power, an interface configured to receive high definition (HD) map data of a specified region from a server through a communication device, and at least one processor configured to continuously generate electronic horizon data of the specified region based on the HD map data in a state in which the power is received, and to set a light irradiation region of a head lamp based on the electronic horizon data.

A lamp for a vehicle includes a light source unit for generating a first light; a light adjustment unit for adjusting a first light concentration for the first light to generate a second light having a second light concentration from the first light concentration; and a movable mirror unit for reflecting the second light to form an image of a predetermined shape on a road surface. A position where the image is formed on the road surface is changed depending on a position of the movable mirror unit.

A reflector unit may behave as a retroreflector to reflect light of a selected color. The reflector unit may comprise a first reflector having a first color, a second reflector having a second color, and a mask that either allows incoming light to reach the first reflector and not the second reflector or allows incoming light to reach the second reflector and not the first reflector. An active light unit may emit light of a particular color in response to receiving light. In this fashion, the active light unit may simulate the operation of a reflector. The reflector unit and the active light unit may operate on a bi-directional vehicle.

There is provided a lighting device arranged to produce a controllable light beam for illuminating a scene. The device comprises an addressable spatial light modulator arranged to provide a selectable phase delay distribution to a beam of incident light. The device further comprises Fourier optics arranged to receive phase-modulated light from the spatial light modulator and form a light distribution. The device further comprises projection optics arranged to project the light distribution to form a pattern of illumination as said controllable light beam.
