Abstract
A lighting control data generation method for generating lighting control data for controlling light sources in a HUD device includes: a measurement point specifying step for specifying measurement points in accordance with the brightness of light from a light source at each of output levels set to different values by a light source control unit which controls the light source with reference to lighting control data; and an output characteristic acquisition step for acquiring output characteristics by performing interpolation between the specified measurement points, wherein in the measurement point specification step, measurement points of a first specific point number are specified in a high-brightness mode in which the required brightness exceeds a threshold value, and measurement points of a second specific point number larger than the first specific point number are specified in a low-brightness mode in which the required brightness is the threshold value or low.
