Abstract
A method for operating a high-resolution headlamp of a vehicle, the headlamp being configured to project an image into the outer region of the vehicle. At least two regions are selected in the image to be projected which have the same brightness gradients. The brightness gradients of the at least two regions are analyzed in the projection to be carried out. If, during the analysis, a difference in the brightness gradients between individual ones of the selected regions is detected in the projection to be carried out, the headlamp is controlled in such a way that the brightness gradients of the selected regions in the projection to be carried out are matched to each other.
