It is important to understand that the embodiments may be provided in a number of alternative forms and should not be construed as being limited to the examples presented below.

[0084] Consequently, although an embodiment may be modified in various ways and take various alternative forms, specific embodiments thereof are shown in the drawings and described in detail below by way of example. No limitation to the particular forms disclosed is intended. Rather, all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the scope of the appended claims are to be included.

[0085] FIG. 1 illustrates a schematic depiction of an image I[x] 100, referred to as original image, relating to an HB 110 (high beam) photometry of a motor vehicle lighting device HL.

[0086] According to the invention, each image I[x] 100 has its equivalent in the form of a matrix M[x] 120 of pixels P[i] 125, each pixel P[i] 125 being characterized by a numerical value V[i] linked to a light intensity on a scale ranging from 0, corresponding to black, up to 255, corresponding to white. FIG. 2 illustrates one embodiment relating to a partial matrix M[x] 120 of pixels P[i] 125 with a photometry corresponding to the high beams HB 110 according to FIG. 1.

[0087] Nowadays, a modern motor vehicle has a control unit, commonly called PCM 230 (for pixel controller module), intended to drive a set of pixels of lighting modules HL[z] 220 via a control unit UC[z] 210, where the variable z ranging from 1 to n corresponds to the number assigned to the lighting module HL[z] 220. The control unit PCM 230 and each control unit UC[z] 210 comprises, respectively and in a non-exhaustive manner, at least one microprocessor and a memory (not referenced) configured so as to allow the implementation of a method for driving the projection of light beams from a motor vehicle lighting device HL according to the invention.

[0088] The control unit PCM 230 is configured such that, depending on data collected from a set of sensors distributed in the motor vehicle and on the environmental context in which said vehicle is moving, said control unit PCM 230 is capable of deciding, in complete autonomy or under the impulse of a driver, or on the behavior of said driver on the road, to activate or deactivate at least one regulatory photometry and/or lighting function. In the context of this invention, the two concepts of photometry and lighting function are distinct. Indeed, it will be considered, in a non-exhaustive list, that the term photometry encompasses an image I[x] 100, with x ranging from 1 to 4, where: [0089] I[1] comprises an equivalent matrix M[1] corresponding to a high beam HB 110; [0090] I[2] comprises an equivalent matrix M[2] corresponding to a low beam LB 111; [0091] I[3] comprises an equivalent matrix M[3] where all of the pixels have a numerical value V[i] of 0, in other words all of the pixels P[i] 125 are off, with i ranging from 1 to F; [0092] I[4] comprises an equivalent matrix M[4] corresponding to a dynamic bending light DBL 116.

[0093] Likewise, it will be considered, in a non-exhaustive list, that the term lighting function encompasses an image I[x] 100, with x ranging from 5 to 9, where: [0094] I[5] comprises an equivalent matrix M[5] corresponding to an ADB 113 (adaptive driving beam) function that allows lighting with an LB 111, HB 110 or DBL 116 photometry while avoiding dazzling other road users; [0095] I[6] comprises an equivalent matrix M[6] corresponding to a TSAG 114 (traffic sign anti-glare) function that makes it possible to avoid dazzling the traffic signs on a road following the projection of light beams from the motor vehicle; [0096] I[7] comprises an equivalent matrix M[7] corresponding to an RW (road writing) function that allows the projection, onto the road, of patterns visible to the driver and/or to road users; [0097] I[8] comprises an equivalent matrix M[8] corresponding to an LA (line assist) function that allows the projection of line-type patterns onto the road with or without a sensation of the lines scrolling, so as to delimit a portion of road to be taken by the motor vehicle or to project an obstacle avoidance strategy; [0098] I[9] comprises an equivalent matrix M[9] corresponding to an LA_Center 115 function, which is a variant of the LA function, except that it is projected at the center of the road, in particular to indicate a direction of the vehicle.

[0099] The invention is in no way limited to just the photometries and lighting functions mentioned above, and it goes without saying that images relating to a welcome/goodbye scenario, or other photometries/lighting functions specific to the regulations of a country or region of the world could be added or updated.

[0100] According to the invention, a database comprising a set of matrices M[x] 120 of photometries and lighting functions possible on a road, in particular depending on the respective regulations, is recorded in the memory of the control unit PCM 230.

[0101] The control unit PCM 230, following the reception of an instruction from the driver or on its own initiative with regard to the environmental context of the motor vehicle, activates the projection of an image I[x] 100, and the corresponding matrix M[x] 120 is then selected from the database saved in the memory of the control unit PCM 230.

[0102] In a first embodiment of the invention, illustrated in particular in FIG. 4a and FIG. 4b, for each row R[k] 124 of the matrix M[x] 120 according to FIG. 2, with k ranging from the first row k=1 to the last row k=D, this gives a curve C_R[k] according to FIG. 3.

[0103] The control unit PCM 230 then sequentially carries out the following steps for each of the curves C_R[k], from the first pixel P[1] 127 to the last pixel P[F] 128 of the row R[k] 124: [0104] calculating a gradient value G[i] based on the numerical value V[i] of the pixel P[i] 125 under analysis and on the numerical value V[i+1] of the adjacent pixel PIS[i+1]. Such calculation of the gradient G[i] is performed as follows: G[i]=V[i+1]−V[i], with i ranging from 1 to F; [0105] determining whether the pixel P[i] 125 under analysis is a significant point of inflection PIS[i] of the curve C_R[k] relating to the row R[k] 124;

[0106] To obtain the significant point of inflection PIS[i], the control unit PCM 230: [0107] determines a value E_Max_V[i] corresponding to the maximum tolerated difference between the value V[i] of the pixel P[i] 125 under analysis of the original image I[x] 100 and the value V[i] of the compressed pixel PIS[i]. Such calculation of E_Max_V[i] is performed as follows E_Max_V[i]=E_Max+G[i]*G_Err, where E_Max and G_Err are parameters that may be constant or variable depending on the desired compression strategy. E_max corresponds to the difference in intensity between the original pixel P[i] 125 and the compressed pixel PIS[x] and G_Err corresponds to the spatial difference between the original pixel P[i] 125 and the compressed pixel PIS[x]; [0108] determines the list of vectors or gradients G[i] close to the pixel P[i] 125 under analysis. This list of vectors or gradients G[i] is between the value G[i]−E_Max_V[i] and the value G[i]+E_Max_V[i]; [0109] as long as the list of vectors or gradients G[i] is greater than 0, then, for each vector or gradient G[i] of the list, if the following condition |V[i−a]+G[i−a]*(P[i−a]−P[i])−V[i]|>E_Max_V[i] is met, then all vectors or gradients G[i] will be considered to be invalid and removed from the list of gradients, otherwise it will be considered to be valid; this step is reiterated for as long as the list of gradients G[i] is greater than 0, otherwise the pixel P[i] 125 will be considered to be a pixel to be compressed and will be saved in the list LPIS[i] of compressed pixels PIS[i] to be transmitted. It should be noted that the value of “a” ranges from 1 to M, and corresponds to the number of pixels for which the condition is true. As soon as the condition becomes false, then the value of “a” is reset to 1 in order to move on to the analysis of the adjacent pixel P[i+1].

[0110] FIG. 7 illustrates a table summarizing the compression rates of the photometries and/or lighting functions with respect to the configuration of the parameters E_max and G_Err, according to one embodiment of the invention. These values result from experimental data. According to the invention, it appears that, when the values E_Max and G_Err are respectively constant, a desired compression rate is achieved, depending on the activation of at least one photometry and/or lighting function.

[0111] Thus, in one embodiment, when the value E_Max is set to 3 and/or when the value G_Err is set to 16/255, the compression rate fluctuates relatively with an average value close to 85% with a margin of +/−5% with respect to the photometry and/or functions that are activated.

[0112] In another embodiment, when a photometry relating to a low beam LB 111 is activated, then the value of E_Max is set to 3, and: [0113] in the absence of activated lighting functions such as ADB 113, TSAG 114, RW, LA 112, LA_Center 115, then the value of G_Err is set to 16/255, or [0114] if one of the RW, LA 112, LA_Center 115 lighting functions is activated, then the value of G_Err is set to 32/255, or [0115] if a DBL 116 photometry is activated, then the value of G_Err is set to 16/255.

[0116] In another embodiment, when a photometry relating to the high beams HB 110 is activated: [0117] in the absence of activated ADB 113, TSAG 114, RW, LA 112, LA_Center 115 lighting functions, or when DBL 116 photometry is activated, then the value E_Max is set to 4 and the value G_Err is set to 16/255; [0118] when the ADB 113, or TSAG 114, or RW, or LA 112, or LA_Center 115 lighting functions are activated, then the value E_Max is set to 5 and the value G_Err is set to 32/255; [0119] when the following lighting functions are activated: [0120] ADB 113 combined with LA_Center 115, or [0121] TSAG 114 combined with LA_Center 115, or [0122] ADB 113 combined with TSAG 114 with or without DBL 116,

[0123] then the value E_Max is set to 5 and the value G_Err is set to 64/255; [0124] when the following lighting functions are activated: [0125] ADB 113 on its own or combined with TSAG 114 and LA_Center 115; [0126] TSAG 114 combined with RW or LA 112;

[0127] then the value E_Max is set to 6 and the value G_Err is set to 64/255; [0128] when the lighting functions ADB 113 combined with LA 112 are activated, then the value E_Max is set to 6 and the value G_Err is set to 96/255; [0129] when the lighting functions ADB 113 and TSAG 114 combined with RW or LA 112 are activated, then the value E_Max is set to 7 and the value G_Err is set to 96/255 for a photometry with or without DBL 116.

[0130] In another embodiment, when an OFF photometry is activated, in other words when the numerical value V[i] of all of the pixels P[i] 125 of the original image I[x] 100 is at 0 or off, and when the lighting functions RW, or LA 112, or LA_Center 115 are activated, then the value E_Max is set to 3 and the value G_Err is set to 16/255.

[0131] FIG. 6 shows a motor vehicle lighting system SYS 200 according to the invention, comprising: [0132] at least one lighting module HL[z] 220 comprising a plurality of light sources, such as LEDs, capable of projecting photometries and/or lighting functions from compressed data LPIS[i]; [0133] a multiplexed CAN 240, CAN-FD bus or the like, for transmitting compressed data LPIS[i] to at least one lighting module HL[z] 220; [0134] a control unit PCM 230 intended to implement all of the abovementioned compression steps, so as to generate compressed data PIS[i]; [0135] a control unit UC[z] 210 configured to decompress the compressed data, this control unit UC[z] 210 being located in the lighting module HL[z] 220.

[0136] Such a step of decompressing the list LPIS[i] of compressed pixels PIS[i] received via the CAN 240 at the lighting modules HL[z] 220 is performed by way of: [0137] a linear interpolation of the sub-intervals between the significant points of inflection of the curve C_PIS[i] 130 formed by the list of compressed pixels, as seen in FIG. 5, or [0138] a polynomial interpolation of the sub-intervals between the significant points of inflection of the curve C_PIS[i] formed by the list of compressed pixels, or [0139] an interpolation, using the Bézier curve method, of the sub-intervals between the significant points of inflection of the curve C_PIS[i] formed by the list of compressed pixels, or [0140] an interpolation, using the parametric adaptation method, of the sub-intervals between the significant points of inflection of the curve C_PIS[i] formed by the list of compressed pixels, or [0141] an interpolation, using the least squares method, of the sub-intervals between the significant points of inflection of the curve C_PIS[i] formed by the list of compressed pixels, or [0142] an interpolation, using the exponential modeling method, of the sub-intervals between the significant points of inflection of the curve C_PIS[i] formed by the list of compressed pixels, or [0143] an interpolation, using the Fourier series method, of the sub-intervals between the significant points of inflection of the curve C_PIS[i] formed by the list of compressed pixels, or [0144] an interpolation, using the Gaussian modeling method, of the sub-intervals between the significant points of inflection of the curve C_PIS[i] formed by the list of compressed pixels, or [0145] an interpolation, using the power series method, of the sub-intervals between the significant points of inflection of the curve C_PIS[i] formed by the list of compressed pixels, or [0146] an interpolation, using the sums of sines models method, of the sub-intervals between the significant points of inflection of the curve C_PIS[i] formed by the list of compressed pixels, or [0147] an interpolation, using the Weibull distribution method, of the sub-intervals between the significant points of inflection of the curve C_PIS[i] formed by the list of compressed pixels, [0148] an interpolation, using the personalized models method, of the sub-intervals between the significant points of inflection of the curve C_PIS[i] formed by the list of compressed pixels.
