  • Patent number: 12638150
    Abstract: An illumination system of a motor vehicle includes a first lighting module that is able to emit a first light beam with an upper cut-off, a second lighting module that is able to emit a second, pixelated light beam, and a system for mechanically adjusting the vertical orientation of the first and second light beams. A controller is able to receive an emission instruction for a given lighting function and is designed to control the adjusting system in order to bring about a simultaneous modification of the vertical orientation of the first and second light beams on the basis of the instruction and to control the second lighting module to emit a second, pixelated light beam having predetermined characteristics on the basis of said instruction.

  • Publication number: 20250153630
    Abstract: The invention relates to a lighting system for a motor vehicle. The system includes a first headlamp capable of projecting a first light beam and a second headlamp capable of projecting a second light beam, the first light beam being formed by at least one first focused light beam and the second light beam being formed by at least one second focused light beam. The first and second focused light beams being controlled by a control law. The control law is configured to create asymmetry between the angular displacement of the first focused light beam from a first outer end position to a first inner end position and the angular displacement of the second focused light beam from a second outer end position to a second inner end position.

  • Patent number: 11465552
    Abstract: A method for obtaining an image of an object to be classified for a driver assistance system of a motor vehicle, wherein the vehicle emits a plurality of selectively activatable light areas in front of it, at least partly forming an illuminating and/or signaling light beam. The method includes the following successive steps: —detecting an object to be classified by determining at least one parameter and defining a region comprising said object to be classified; —triggering an increase in the light intensity of said light areas illuminating said region; —taking at least one image of said object to be classified simultaneously with the triggering step; and—classifying the detected object on the basis of the at least one taken image. The invention also relates to a system for implementing said method and a vehicle comprising such a system. Lastly, the invention relates to a computer program product and a medium comprising such a program.
