Abstract: Particular embodiments may provide for a method of providing illumination for a vehicle. A user input related to controlling a headlamp assembly for a vehicle may be received. The headlamp assembly may comprise a laser-based lamp positioned to provide high-beam illumination, including a plurality of beam subfields, and a light sensor configured to capture images of objects illuminated by the headlamp assembly. Instructions to activate the headlamp assembly may be sent. Images of a scene illuminated by the headlamp assembly may be captured. An object of interest in the images of the scene may be detected. The detected objects may be identified as a traveling vehicle moving along a path in a beam field of the lamp. Instructions to dim light emitted by the laser-based lamp within at least one subfield of the beam field may be sent. The subfield may correspond to a location of the traveling vehicle.

Abstract: Particular embodiments may provide for a method of providing illumination for a vehicle. A user input related to controlling a headlamp assembly for a vehicle may be received. The headlamp assembly may comprise a laser-based lamp configured to provide broad-spectrum, incoherent white light for high-beam illumination, a laser-based infrared lamp, and a light sensor configured to capture images of objects illuminated by the headlamp assembly. Instructions to activate the headlamp assembly may be sent. Images of a scene illuminated by the headlamp assembly may be captured by the light sensor. An object of interest in the images of the scene may be detected. Generation of an alert to a driver of the vehicle regarding the one or more objects of interest may be facilitated.

Abstract: Particular embodiments may provide for a method of providing illumination for a vehicle. A signal to activate a headlamp assembly for a vehicle may be sent. The headlamp assembly may comprise a laser-based lamp positioned to provide high-beam illumination, including a plurality of beam subfields, and a light sensor configured to capture images of illuminated objects, wherein the light sensor is capable of sensing objects illuminated by visible-spectrum light. A focal region for the high-beam illumination may be determined based on images captured by the light sensor. Instructions to configure the laser-based lamp to modify a distribution of the high-beam illumination to increase brightness of one or more beam subfields of the high-beam illumination within the focal region may be sent.
