Abstract
A vehicle headlight control apparatus controls a headlamp capable of adjusting the amount of light for each of a plurality of light distribution areas. The vehicle headlight control apparatus includes: a high-luminance target detection unit that detects a high-luminance target ahead of a vehicle based on a camera image of a camera; a dimming control unit that performs dimming control to reduce the amount of light in the light distribution area including the high-luminance target based on a detection result of the high-luminance target detection unit; and a dimming control determination unit that determines whether the brightness of a surrounding environment is a threshold or higher based on the camera image. The dimming control unit does not perform the dimming control when the dimming control determination unit determines that the brightness of the surrounding environment is the threshold or higher.
