ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHT BEAM - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18181745 titled 'ADAPTIVE HEADLIGHT BEAM

The abstract describes a patent application for a vehicle headlight system that includes a sensor to obtain an image of an object and a processor to reduce glare from the headlight at the object.

  • The headlight system includes a headlight, a sensor, and a processor.
  • The sensor obtains an image of an object, and the processor determines a projection of the object within the headlight.
  • The processor identifies a pixel within the projection and turns it off to reduce glare from the headlight at the object.

Potential Applications: - Automotive industry for safer driving at night - Transportation industry for improved visibility in adverse weather conditions

Problems Solved: - Reducing glare from headlights to enhance safety for drivers and pedestrians - Improving visibility in challenging lighting conditions

Benefits: - Enhanced safety on the road - Reduced glare for improved comfort and visibility - Increased efficiency of headlight systems

Commercial Applications: - Automotive manufacturers for integrating advanced headlight systems - Transportation companies for fleet vehicles operating in low-light conditions

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the sensor obtain an image of the object? 2. What specific criteria does the processor use to identify and turn off the pixel within the projection?


Original Abstract Submitted

A vehicle, headlight system and method of operating the headlight. The headlight system includes a headlight, a sensor configured to obtain an image of an object, and a processor. The processor is configured to determine a projection of the object within the headlight, identify a pixel having a portion thereof within the projection, and turn off the pixel to reduce glare from the headlight at the object.
