The invention discloses a self-adaptive high
beam control system and method based on an
infrared camera technology, and belongs to the technical field of car intelligent forward lighting. The self-adaptive high
beam control system comprises an
infrared camera, a
radar, a vehicle speed sensor, a central
control unit, and a high beam and low
beam switching device. The control method comprises the steps that 1, image information in front of a vehicle is collected through the
infrared camera and processed, whether non-motor vehicles and pedestrians exist in front of the vehicle or not is judged, and the specific positions of the non-motor vehicles and the pedestrians are determined; 2, according to the judging result of the step 1, the relative distance L and the relative speed V of the non-motor vehicles or the pedestrians in front and the vehicle are detected through the
radar, the state of the non-motor vehicles or the pedestrians in front are judged, and the
irradiation state of a headlight at the next moment is determined; and 3, high beam and low beam state
delay switching control is conducted according to the
irradiation state of the vehicle headlight at the moment and the
irradiation state of the vehicle headlight at the next moment. According to the self-adaptive high
beam control system and method based on the infrared camera technology, visual disorder caused by a high beam to drivers of the non-motor vehicles and the pedestrians is reduced, and
night driving safety is improved.
