INTELLIGENT LONG-DISTANCE INFRARED FILL-LIGHT SET
20230050340 · 2023-02-16 ·

A intelligent long-distance infrared fill-light set for illuminating a predetermined target range at least 500 meters away cooperates with an infrared image-acquisition equipment to obtain an image of an illuminated-object, and includes: infrared fill-lights each including an optical lens, optical axis passing through a focus, infrared light sources emitting an infrared beam having a main beam angle, to generate a substantial overlapping area and at least one non-overlapping area when illuminating to the predetermined target range; enabling devices that enable light sources; and a control unit receiving image data acquired by the infrared image-acquisition equipment, for calculating and adjusting the enabling device to locally strengthen or weaken the substantial overlapping area and/or non-overlapping area. Infrared fill-lights are spaced a predetermined distance, so that the human eyes accidentally entering a predetermined dangerous illumination range will not be simultaneously illuminated by infrared beams, thereby avoiding exceeding a Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE).

A vehicle may have lights such as headlights. The lights may emit visible and infrared light. Infrared light may be used to illuminate objects that are monitored using infrared image sensors or other infrared sensors. Visible light may be used to illuminate objects that are viewed by vehicle occupants and which may be monitored using sensors. Headlights and other lights in the vehicle may be adjustable. An adjustable light may have a light source that contains an infrared light-emitting device such as an infrared light-emitting diode and a visible light-emitting device such as a visible light-emitting diode. A reflector may reflect light from the light source towards a lens. An adjustable light-blocking device may be located between the reflector and the lens. The light-blocking device may allow infrared light to pass unimpeded while adjusting visible light passing to the lens.
