摘要:
A system and method for controlling the in situ orientation of the headlamps of a vehicle, from a camera that is mounted in the headlamp, as a function of the attitude of the vehicle. A camera is secured to a reflector of the headlamp so as to film the road extending in front of the vehicle. An image processing unit processes at least two successive images in order to detennine a measured horizon line of the road scene in front of the vehicle. A setpoint horizon line has been determined beforehand during initial adjustment of the headlamp. The real horizon line is then brought closer to the setpoint horizon line by modifying the orientation of the headlamp, until the distance between the measured line and the setpoint line tends towards zero.

The invention relates to a method of lighting a road with a vehicle headlight, in which the projected light is modulated in response to the presence of any persons on the road. The method comprises the following operations: detecting in the road scene at least one person, pinpointing the location of the person in the road scene, creating on an imager a mask having dimensions and position corresponding to the person, and lighting the road through the imager, to create a projected shadow around the person.The invention also provides a headlight for performing this method and having a first light source towards the imager, and an electronic system for generating light-occulting masks on the imager.

An obstacle detection device comprising an imaging system for a motor vehicle, including at least one optical sensor, integrated in a lighting or signaling device of this vehicle. A field of vision of this at least one optical sensor can be oriented substantially along a longitudinal axis of the vehicle or substantially along a transverse axis of the vehicle.

A vehicle has an eye level display for displaying information to the driver by means of images projected on to the windshield and reflected off it. The eye level display system includes means for correcting the image projected, in order substantially to eliminate multiple images. The projected image is corrected essentially by producing a corrected image, in the form of a digital matrix, before it is projected on the windshield by the projector. In one embodiment, the corrective processing step comprises inverting the matrix characteristic of the multiplication caused by the windshield. In another embodiment, it consists in producing a corrected image adaptively by minimising an error function below a predetermined threshold.

The object of the invention is a dual-function lamp device for a motor vehicle, comprising in particular a light source emitting light signals towards an output surface of the lamp in order to produce a light beam, and a filtering means which can move between a passive position and an active position in which it allows passage of only some of the light signals corresponding to non-visible wavelengths, the filtering means being used in association with an intermediate lens for modifying the dispersion of the light beam. The driver thus has a direct illumination and an indirect illumination for obtaining, from a single lamp, two different fields of vision.
摘要:
A process and system for detecting a phenomenon limiting the visibility for a motor vehicle. The process and system comprises the steps of determining at least one point of interest in an image captured of the environment of the vehicle (CALC_H(I)); determining a region of interest in the image (CALC_ROI(I)); determining a graph of different levels of grey on the basis of said region of interest (CALC_CL(ROI)), and determining an area in said graph of different levels of grey around said point of interest (CALC_A(CL, H)).
摘要:
A process for the detection from a vehicle of a visibility interference phenomenon, comprising the following steps: the emission of a beam of light to illuminate the rear of the vehicle, the beam of light being emitted into a field of vision of a camera mounted in the vehicle, and the determination of a presence and the nature of a visibility interference phenomenon on the basis of at least one image captured by the camera.
摘要:
The invention concerns a system and method for detecting, at night, the presence of an element such as fog interfering with the visibility of a road scene situated in front of a vehicle, comprising the following operations: acquiring an image of the road scene, extracting, from the image of the road scene, at least one light halo produced by a lighting device of the vehicle, approximating a form of this light halo by an elliptic curve, comparing the form of this light halo with the elliptic curve obtained in order to deduce therefrom the presence or absence of an element interfering with visibility.
摘要:
The invention relates to a method for managing the supply to a discharge lamp of a motor vehicle headlight, wherein during the phase of starting up the discharge lamp, the strength of the current supplied to the lamp is controlled on the basis of a parameter representative of the environment of the vehicle so as to optimize the life of the discharge lamp. The invention also relates to a device for managing the supply to a discharge lamp.
摘要:
A motor vehicle headlight comprises a light source mounted in a reflector and a glass. The reflector is mounted to pivot about a generally vertical axis, and displacement means are provided to vary the angular position of the reflector. According to the invention, the reflector is capable of occupying at least one first angular position in which the beam emitted thereby passes through a first glass to generate a first type of beam, and a second angular position which is fixed and different form the first angular position(s), and in which the beam passes through a second glass; the headlight also has optical means for generating through said second glass a fixed beam which has photometric characteristics different from those of the beam passing through the first glass. Application in particular to two-function headlights for providing both a cornering light beam and a fog light beam.
