Abstract

An apparatus includes a sensor and a processor. The sensor may be configured to generate a video signal based on a targeted view from a vehicle. The processor may be configured to perform video analysis on video frames of the video signal to detect an object, perform a classification of the object, provide a confidence level of the classification and generate a control signal in response to the classification of the object. The control signal may be used to reshape a beam of one or more headlights of the vehicle. The reshaping of the beams of the headlights may be determined based on a location of the object in the video frames and the confidence level of the classification. The confidence level of the classification of the object may be adjusted in response to a second classification of a second object detected in the video frame.
