    摘要: Systems and methods of aligning removable sensors mounted on a vehicle based upon sensor output of such sensors are described. Sensor output is collected from a removable sensor (e.g., a digital camera), and a representation of such sensor output is generated (e.g., a digital image). The representation of the sensor output is compared against a spatial template (e.g., a digital mask overlaid on the representation) to determine whether external references in the representation align with corresponding reference indicators in the spatial template. When alignment is required, the removable sensor is aligned by one or both of the following until the external references in a representation of sensor data at an updated current location align with the corresponding reference indicators in the spatial template: (i) adjusting the position of the removable sensor on the vehicle or (ii) adjusting the representation of the sensor output to simulate such repositioning.

    摘要: This disclosure is of an inventive low-profile LED headlight apparatus having an elongate light box and a headlight assembly that are synchronized with an integral strobe light assembly, which can be illuminated in a coordinated flash pattern. The headlight assembly has at least one addressable headlight lamp. The strobe light assembly has at least one addressable strobe light. These patterns can include alternating, patterned, or synchronized flash patterns. While strobe/warning lights are commonly incorporated into vehicles as distinct units, integrating them into plow headlights can eliminate the need for separate installation, in addition to allowing for more than one set of flashing lights. This apparatus also includes a controller, in electrical communication with the headlight assembly, and a selectively engageable port on one of the sides of the elongate light box for exhausting atmosphere within the elongate light box.

    摘要: The examples may relate to a method of adapting lighting of at least one lighting module of a motor vehicle to sounds which are generated and output by a sound system of the motor vehicle. In an example, the sounds may be associated at least one image which is automatically represented by the at least one lighting module at least in a section and in a manner temporally correlated with the output sounds. In an example, the at least one image may be read in by a selection module. A system to configure lighting may include a data processing unit, a lighting module and a selection module.
