Vehicle light distribution control apparatus and method
Abstract:
A vehicle light distribution control apparatus includes a camera and lighting apparatus. A controller detects an image portion in an image captured by the camera as an object estimated as another vehicle when the image portion meets a predetermined criterion, and controls a light distribution of the illumination light based on a detection result. When the controller detects the object estimated as another vehicle within an illumination region of the illumination light, it limits the illumination region of the illumination light such that the object estimated as another vehicle is not illuminated by the illumination light, and then when it does not detect an object estimated as another vehicle within a non-illumination region of the illumination light due to the limitation, it restricts a cancellation of the limitation of the illumination region of the illumination light until a predetermined cancellation criteria is met.
