VEHICULAR HEADLAMP CONTROL SYSTEM
20250065802 · 2025-02-27 ·

A vehicular headlamp control system includes a camera disposed at an in-cabin side of a windshield of a vehicle. The vehicle includes a headlamp that is switchable between a higher beam state and a lower beam state. The vehicular headlamp control system, with the vehicle traveling along a road, and at least in part via processing by an image processor of image data captured by the camera, detects presence of a leading vehicle traveling along the road ahead of the vehicle. Based at least in part on curvature of a curved section of the road ahead of the vehicle, the vehicular headlamp control system limits switching of the headlamp of the vehicle to the higher beam state. The curved section of the road ahead of the vehicle may be a curved on-ramp of the road or a curved off-ramp of the road.

A vehicle headlamp device includes a headlamp unit, a light distribution direction changer, a traveling state changer, and an arithmetic controller. The headlamp unit is configured to illuminate an area ahead of a vehicle. The light distribution direction changer is configured to change a light distribution direction of the headlamp unit. The traveling state changer is configured to change a traveling state of the vehicle. The arithmetic controller is configured to, upon detecting a backward movement of the vehicle due to an operation received by the traveling state changer, cause the light distribution direction changer to change the light distribution direction of the headlamp unit more outward in a vehicle width direction of the vehicle than in a normal traveling state.

The variable light distribution lamp is structured to generate a low beam having a light distribution corresponding to the input image. The controller is structured to independently control a height of a first cutoff line on a vehicle lane side relative to an elbow point in the light distribution of the low beam, and a height of a second cutoff line on the opposite side relative to the elbow point, in accordance with a driving scene.

Vehicle camera vision system and method

A vehicle vision system comprises first and second vehicle headlights configured to project first and second light structures into a travel path of the vehicle to illuminate an object in the travel path. The system includes a camera disposed in the vehicle between the first and second headlights to capture images of the object in response to capture signals. The first and second vehicle headlights alternately project the first and second light structures. A system controller synchronizes the capture signals so that images of the object captured by the camera include reflections of the first and second light structures. An image processor can reconstruct a surface geometry of the object based on the reflected first and second light structures.

Controllable headlamp

A headlight for a vehicle is described herein. The headlight includes a hybridized device and a controller. The hybridized device includes an array of light emitting devices that illuminate a roadway on which the vehicle is located when operating. The controller is electrically coupled to the hybridized device and, when operating, causes the array of light emitting devices to selectively project a patterned light on to an object on the roadway using the hybridized device and causes a camera to capture an image of the patterned light projected on the object.

A method for adjusting vehicle lighting when driving through a building site involves adjusting a light pattern cast by at least one vehicle headlight into an environment from a top light field, referred to as high beam, and a bottom light field, referred to as low beam, upon recognizing that a building site is being driven through by changing a light intensity with which the light pattern is generated. The light intensity at which the low beam is emitted is increased to a determined value when driving through the building site.
