Problems solved by technology

However, for example, in the case where there are many obstructions such as street trees arranged on the street, pedestrians are blocked by the obstructions, and the position of pedestrians cannot be detected.
When this period is repeated in a relatively short period, the turning on and off of the marker light becomes frequent, which makes the driver feel uncomfortable.
In addition, when there are m

Embodiment Construction

[0025] figure 1 It is a diagram showing the configuration of a vehicle lighting system according to one embodiment. The illustrated vehicular lighting system is a vehicular lighting system for notifying the driver of the own vehicle of the presence of pedestrians by irradiating light extending toward pedestrians located around the own vehicle, that is, marker light, and includes an imaging unit 10, a control unit 20 and a pair of lamp units 30L, 30R.

[0026] The imaging unit 10 is used to detect the positions of pedestrians around the host vehicle, and includes a camera 11 and an image processing unit 12 . The camera 11 photographs the surrounding space of the host vehicle. The image processing unit 12 detects the position of a pedestrian by performing predetermined image recognition processing based on the video (image) obtained by the camera 11 , and supplies the position data to the control unit 20 .

[0027] The control unit 20 controls the pair of light units 30L and ...

Abstract

The invention provides a vehicle lamp control device and control method, and a vehicle lamp system, which can alleviate the strange feeling of a driver when the driver is illuminated. The vehicle lampcontrol device is used to control a vehicle lamp, which can carry out selective irradiation. The vehicle lamp control device controls the vehicle lamp to irradiate marking light extending to the position of a first object body located on the periphery of the vehicle. When the current position of the first object is not detected, the current position of the first object is estimated on the basis of the previously detected position of the first object, and the vehicle lamp is irradiated with marker light extending to the estimated position.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a control technology for a vehicle lamp that emits light (marker light) indicating the direction of the presence of the pedestrian in order to notify the driver of the presence of the pedestrian. Background technique [0002] There is known a lighting system for a vehicle that emits light in a direction indicating the presence of a pedestrian in order to notify the driver of the presence of the pedestrian (for example, refer to JP-A-2018-98066). In such a system, for example, a camera photographs a pedestrian, the position of the pedestrian is determined, and light is irradiated toward the position. The light used to notify the pedestrian is called a marker light. At this time, the relative positions of the pedestrian and the vehicle change according to the movement of both, but since the detection result of the position of the pedestrian is updated at predetermined intervals, the irradiation position of the marker lig...
