Abstract: A method for correcting a light pattern provided by an automotive lighting device, wherein the light pattern is provided at least by a matrix arrangement of light sources. The method includes a first step of projecting a high beam pattern with a first zone where luminous intensity is lower, the first zone having a rectangular edge with four sides. The second step includes providing a number of pixels for each of the four sides of the edge of the first zone, thus creating an upper blur zone, a lower blur zone, a left blur zone and a right blur zone. A final step includes creating a blur pattern for the upper blur zone which extends along columns, a blur pattern for the lower blur zone which extends along columns, a blur pattern for the left blur zone which extends along rows and a blur pattern for the right blur zone which extend along rows, where the luminous intensity in each row or column adapts from the luminous intensity of the first zone to the luminous intensity of the high beam pattern. An automotive lighting device configured to perform these steps is also provided.

Abstract: A method for controlling a lighting system for a motor vehicle having a system for detecting objects includes defining at least one set of detectable types of objects and acquiring, by means of the detection system, a set of data relating to the position of a plurality of objects of types belonging to the set. Also included is determining a lighting model which is associated with said set and defines at least one zone referred to as the initial detection zone, and a light pattern referred to as the initial light pattern, of a light beam intended to be emitted in the initial detection zone. The lighting system is controlled in order to emit a light beam having the initial light pattern in the initial detection zone of said lighting model.

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for assisting with driving a vehicle, including at least one sensor configured to detect the presence of an object in an environment outside the vehicle, at least one camera configured to acquire images of the environment outside the vehicle and to detect the presence of the object in the environment outside the vehicle. The at least one sensor detects at least one free space in the environment outside the vehicle, the at least one camera, on the basis of the acquired images, detects at least one free space. An electronic control unit configured to select a free space found by the at least one sensor and/or the at least one camera, the electronic control unit activates the display of images in the selected free space so as to indicate a new path to be followed by the vehicle.

Abstract: A method for controlling a lighting device of a host motor vehicle in order to emit a beam for lighting the road that is non-dazzling to a target object on this road. The method includes acquiring, with a sensor system of the host motor vehicle, the position (xtarget_t0, ytarget_t0) of the target object on the road at a given time (t0), and predicting, with a predicting unit, the position (xtarget_t1, ytarget_t1) of the target object on the road at a time (t1) that is in the future with respect to the given time. Also included is correcting, with the predicting unit, the acquired position of the target object at a given time depending on the predicted position at the future time, and generating, with the lighting device, a non-dazzling zone (Z) in a beam for lighting the road, which beam the device emits depending on the corrected position (PG,PD) of the target object.

Abstract: A method for detecting an object in a road surface. The method includes defining a light pattern including dark and lighted groups of square pixels, projecting the light pattern on a road surface, acquiring an image of the projected light pattern, comparing the shape and position of some groups of square pixels in the acquired image with respect of the defined light pattern, and using the comparison to infer features of an object. The invention also provides a method for autonomous driving using this object detection and an automotive lighting device.

Abstract: A method for preventing a collision between a motor vehicle and at least one target object, the motor vehicle includes a detection system capable of detecting the target object and a warning system including at least one light module. The method includes detecting the target object and determining a position and a speed of the target object using the detection system. The method further includes estimating a critical trajectory likely to be followed by the target object in order to collide with the vehicle depending on the position and the speed of the target object, the critical trajectory being associated with a collision risk/collision time relationship. The method additional includes transmitting at least one light warning to the driver of the vehicle using the light module of the warning system.
