VEHICLE LIGHTING AND/OR SIGNALING DEVICE HAVING A STEERABLE DYNAMIC BEAM
A steerable lighting and/or optical device for a vehicle. A light source transmits a light beam to a rotating mirror which scans or points the light transversely ahead of the vehicle to create a desired beam shape. An intensity of the light source may be modulated during sweeping, including modulation to zero intensity, to control the pattern of light generated by the sweeping beam.
METHOD FOR MANAGING IMAGE DATA, AND VEHICLE LIGHTING SYSTEM
The invention relates to a method for managing image data in a motor vehicle lighting system. The lighting system comprises at least one lighting module intended to project light beams generated on the basis of data relating to the selection of at least one image, each image being defined by a matrix containing a plurality of horizontal or vertical rows of pixels, wherein each pixel is characterized by a numerical value related to a light intensity of the pixel, said method determining whether the analyzed pixel is regarded as a significant inflection point of the image such that said analyzed pixel is transmitted to at least one lighting module so that same can project a resulting image. The invention also relates to a motor vehicle lighting system for carrying out the steps of a method of this kind.

METHOD FOR OPERATING A HEADLIGHT SYSTEM OF A MOTOR VEHICLE
A method for operating a headlight system of a motor vehicle, which during operation, illuminates an overall illumination area in the area surrounding the motor vehicle. At least two sensors are provided which detect objects in different associated sensor regions, the sensor regions of the sensors overlapping in an overlap region within the overall illumination area. The data of the sensors are fused to ascertain the existence of an object in the overlap region. Upon confirmation of the existence of the object, a zone in the overall illumination area in which the object is located is selectively excluded from illumination. A motor vehicle having a headlight system operated in this manner is also described.
