A light module for motor vehicles, having a first laser arrangement (L), which contains at least one laser light source (L, L, L, L) which can be modulated, the laser beam(s) (b, b, b, b) of which is/are directed to a pivotable micromirror () controlled by a mirror control () and from there to a light-converting means (), and having a lighting optics () for projecting the illumination pattern generated by the light-converting means () into the traffic space/roadway, as a lighting system, and having a second laser arrangement (V), which contains at least one laser light source (H, H, H), the laser beam/laser beams (c, c, c) of which is/are sent to the pivotable micromirror () controlled by the mirror control () and from there into the traffic space/roadway via a LIDAR exit optics (), as well as having a LIDAR entry optics (), which sends light of the second laser arrangement reflected in the exterior space to a detector (), as a LIDAR system.

Light module for motor vehicles

Illumination device () for a motor vehicle headlight for detection and targeted masking of a light-emitting object () present in front of the illumination device () in segmented light distribution, which illumination device () comprises the following: a light generation unit (), having a plurality of light pixel groups (a,b ,c,d) a light sensor device () for detecting light of a light-emitting object () with a first light sensor () having several first sensor pixels (), a control unit (), which is connected to the light generation unit () and the light sensor device () and is designed to control the light generation unit () for generating the segmented light distribution, wherein one sensor pixel () can detect light in a detection solid angle (DRa, DRb, DRc, DRd) and is respectively associated with a light pixel group (a,b,c,d), and wherein the light incident on each first sensor pixel () can be detected as a luminous flux value associated with the respective first sensor pixel (), wherein the light sensor device () additionally has a second light sensor () for measuring distance, and wherein the control unit () is designed to individually compare the luminous flux values detected by the respective first sensor pixels () with a respectively definable threshold and, if the threshold is exceeded, to reduce the luminous flux of the corresponding light pixel groups (a,b,c,d), wherein in the event that it is determined that the threshold has been exceeded in two detection solid angles (DRa, DRc) and it is determined that the threshold has not been exceeded in a detection solid angle (DRb) between these two detection solid angles (DRa, DRc), the control unit () is designed to derive a presumed object width and compare it to an actual object width, which actual object width can be determined by means of the second light sensor (), wherein, if the presumed object width matches the actual object width, the control device () is designed to reduce the luminous flux of the corresponding light pixel groups (a,b,c).

Illumination apparatus for a motor vehicle headlamp

A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view exterior of the vehicle, a light source disposed at the vehicle and operable to emit light, and a control. Light emitted by the light source, when operated, illuminates a field of illumination exterior of the vehicle, with the field of view of the camera encompassing at least a portion of the field of illumination. The control, responsive to data processing by a processor of the control of image data captured by the camera, determines a change in the field of illumination provided by the light source. Responsive to the determined change in the field of illumination, the control at least one selected from the group of (i) adjusts the light source to accommodate the determined change, (ii) adjusts the camera to accommodate the determined change and (iii) generates an alert.

Vehicle vision system with self-calibrating imager

The invention relates to a lighting device () for a motor vehicle headlight for generating a light pattern (LV), particularly an adaptive light pattern, e.g. an adaptive dipped headlight and main beam light pattern, or a part of a light pattern of this kind, wherein the lighting device comprises a number N of preferably identical projection modules (), where N=2, 3, 4 or greater than 4, each of the projection modules () being designed to generate a segment light pattern (LV, LV). The projection modules () are arranged with respect to one another in such a manner than, proceeding from a first projection module (), known as the starting projection module (), which generates what is called the starting segment light pattern (LV), the segment light patterns (LV; LV, LV) of the further projection modules () are displaced laterally in a, particularly in a common, horizontal direction, with the extent of the displacement. VSh, of the nth segment light pattern (LV; LV, LV) of the nth projection module () in said horizontal direction being proportional to (n&#x2212;1)/N times the principal segment width, BR, where n=2, . . . , N, and with at least one of the nth segment light patterns (LV; LV, LV, LV), n=2, . . . , N, being displaced upwards or downwards vertically in respect of the starting segment light pattern (LV).

Lighting device for a motor vehicle headlight, and motor vehicle headlight

A vehicular vision system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and having a field of view rearward of the vehicle, a light source disposed at the vehicle and operable to emit light, and a control including an image processor. The control, responsive to detection of the object present in the field of view of the camera, determines a region of the field of view of the camera at which a detected object is located. The control determines an illumination level at the detected object and, responsive to the determined illumination level at the detected object being greater than an upper threshold level or less than a lower threshold level, controls the respective individually controllable light segment of the light source for that region of the field of view of the camera at which the detected object is located to adjust intensity of light emitted by that light segment.
