A vehicle headlamp includes: (i) a housing and cover lens, (ii) an obstacle detection device including a camera, for capturing images, and (iii) a camera calibration system for automatically calibrating the spatial orientation of the camera. The system keeps the camera in a predetermined target position and includes (a) an adjustment device for adjusting the spatial orientation of the camera within the housing, (b) a reference mark arranged in the housing, and (c) a control device. Each image has a constant predetermined reference mark position sector (PRMPS), and the camera is in the target position when the reference mark is arranged within the PRMPS of the images. The control device receives the images captured by the camera and controls the adjustment device to remove the deviation from the target position when the reference mark is outside the PRMPS of the images in a non-target position.
