VEHICLE LIGHTING CONTROL USING IMAGE PROCESSING OF CHANGES IN AMBIENT LIGHT INTENSITY

Changes in ambient light intensity are detected by processing image data from an image capture device to determine, iteratively, a signal-to-noise ratio of the image data. The signal-to-noise ratio is a ratio of average to variance of pixel values for some of the pixels forming the image. A control outputis generated, based on the signal-to-noise ratio, that is responsive to changes in ambient light intensity. The control output is used control a light source of a vehicle.

METHOD FOR AIDING THE MANOEUVRING OF AN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE AND AUTOMOTIVE LIGHTING DEVICE

A method for aiding the maneuvering of an automotive vehicle. The method includes the steps of projecting a light pattern towards a projection zone of the ground surface, acquiring an image of the automotive vehicle and the light pattern from an image sensor and providing the acquired image to a user of the automotive vehicle. The projection zone includes at least one of a first virtual rectangle, a second virtual rectangle and/or a third virtual rectangle, defined with respect to a rear point of the carbody, a front point of the carbody and the contact points between the wheels and the ground surface. The invention also provides an automotive lighting device for performing the steps of such a method.
