Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive technology, and more particularly to the field of automotive parts technology, specifically to an ambient light evaluation method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. Background Technology

[0002] With the improvement of people's living standards and the intelligent development of automotive components, ambient lighting in cars has gradually become a new favorite in the automotive market, attracting the attention of many car manufacturers and consumers. In recent years, ambient lighting has also been increasingly equipped in more and more car models, becoming a product that highlights their brand characteristics.

[0003] Currently, the use of ambient lighting in vehicles is increasing, and its potential safety hazards are gradually becoming more prominent. Ambient lighting is widely distributed, ranging from the roof and center console screen to the floor, but the safety performance of these locations varies. Improperly designed placement of ambient lighting can cause glare on windows and rearview mirrors, thus interfering with driving and posing safety risks. However, pre-market safety tests primarily assess vehicle safety through crash tests and performance tests, making it difficult to determine whether ambient lighting poses a safety risk to the driver. Summary of the Invention

[0004] One of the purposes of this application is to provide an ambient light evaluation method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for evaluating the safety of ambient light deployment locations.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0006] According to a first aspect of this application, an ambient lighting evaluation method, apparatus, device, and storage medium are provided. The ambient lighting evaluation apparatus, under preset conditions, determines the influence index of each of multiple objects of gaze on the vehicle, thus obtaining multiple influence indices. The preset conditions include a first ambient light on the vehicle being in an on state, and the first ambient light includes at least one ambient light on the vehicle. The influence indices are used to indicate the degree of influence of the light emitted by the first ambient light on the driver's vision while observing each object of gaze. Furthermore, the ambient lighting evaluation apparatus determines a safety index of the first ambient light based on the multiple influence indices.

[0007] According to the above-mentioned technical means, in the ambient light evaluation method provided in this application, when the first ambient light on the vehicle is in the on state, the influence index of each of the multiple objects of gaze on the vehicle is determined, the degree of influence on the driver's vision under the first ambient light is determined, and then a safety index that can reflect the safety of the deployment position of the first ambient light is obtained based on the influence index of each object of gaze. Based on the safety index, the appropriateness of the deployment position of the first ambient light is judged, thereby realizing the safety evaluation of the deployment position of the ambient light.

[0008] In one possible implementation, the preset conditions also include that the second ambient light is in a turned-off state. The second ambient light is any other ambient light on the vehicle besides the first ambient light, and the ambient lights on the vehicle are deployed in different locations.

[0009] Based on the above-mentioned technical means, the ambient light evaluation method provided in this application can evaluate multiple ambient lights deployed on a vehicle individually, avoiding the influence of other ambient lights during the evaluation of the first ambient light, improving the accuracy of the test data, and further making the determined safety index of the ambient light more accurate.

[0010] In one possible implementation, the aforementioned impact indicators include an interference level score and / or a glare indicator; the interference level score is used to indicate the degree of interference to the driver of the vehicle during the observation of each object being gazed upon, and the glare indicator is used to indicate whether the light emitted by the first ambient light causes glare to the object being gazed upon during the observation of each object being gazed upon.

[0011] Based on the aforementioned technical means, the ambient lighting evaluation method provided in this application fully considers the problems of ambient lighting interfering with the driver's vision and causing glare and blindness, and determines from multiple perspectives whether the deployment location of the ambient lighting is reasonable.

[0012] In one possible implementation, when the aforementioned impact indicators include an interference level score and a glare indicator, determining the safety index of the first ambient light based on multiple impact indicators includes: determining an interference index of the first ambient light based on the interference level score included in the multiple impact indicators, wherein the interference index is used to characterize the degree of interference of the first ambient light to the driver's vehicle; determining the glare frequency of the first ambient light based on the glare indicator included in the multiple impact indicators; and determining the safety index of the first ambient light based on the interference index and the glare frequency.

[0015] Based on the aforementioned technical means, this application conducts thorough testing and evaluation of the first ambient light by setting up different test scenarios to ensure that the deployment location of the first ambient light is sufficiently safe and reasonable in multiple scenarios. Furthermore, since the first ambient light has undergone at least four rounds of testing, the accuracy of the interference index of the first ambient light is further improved.

[0016] In one possible implementation, the preset conditions further include the vehicle driving in a target scenario, which includes a dry ambient light constantly on scenario, a dry ambient light flashing scenario, a rainy ambient light constantly on scenario, and a rainy ambient light flashing scenario. The glare frequency of the first ambient light is determined based on a glare indicator included in multiple influence indicators, including: determining multiple influence indicators of the first ambient light in each target scenario; and determining the glare frequency of the first ambient light based on a glare indicator included in multiple influence indicators in each target scenario.

[0017] Based on the aforementioned technical means, this application conducts thorough testing and evaluation of the first ambient light by setting up different test scenarios to ensure that the deployment location of the first ambient light is safe and reasonable enough in multiple scenarios. Furthermore, since the first ambient light has undergone at least four rounds of testing, the accuracy of the glare frequency of the first ambient light is further improved.

[0018] In one possible implementation, the above-mentioned ambient light evaluation method further includes: determining the safety index of each ambient light among a plurality of ambient lights; and determining the overall ambient light score of the vehicle based on the safety index of each ambient light, wherein the overall ambient light score is used to characterize the safety of the deployment positions of the plurality of ambient lights on the vehicle.

[0019] Based on the aforementioned technical means, this application is able to assess the safety index of each ambient light on a vehicle, and based on the safety index of each ambient light, further assess the overall ambient light score of the vehicle, and determine the safety of the combined deployment location of multiple ambient lights on the vehicle.

[0020] In one possible implementation, determining the overall vehicle ambient lighting score based on the safety index of each ambient light includes: obtaining the safety weight corresponding to each ambient light among multiple ambient lights; and determining the overall vehicle ambient lighting score based on the safety weight corresponding to each ambient light and the safety index of each ambient light.

[0021] Based on the aforementioned technical means, this application calculates and determines the vehicle's ambient lighting score by pre-setting safety weights by experts, which makes the obtained ambient lighting score more reasonable and can accurately reflect the safety of the vehicle's ambient lighting deployment.

[0022] In one possible implementation, the above-mentioned ambient light evaluation method further includes: determining the safety level of the first ambient light and making deployment recommendations for the first ambient light based on the safety index of the first ambient light.

[0023] Based on the aforementioned technical means, this application provides corresponding safety levels and deployment suggestions based on the determined safety index of the first ambient light, which helps to further rationally deploy the first ambient light.

[0025] Based on the aforementioned technical means, this application provides corresponding safety levels and deployment suggestions based on the determined vehicle ambient lighting score, which helps to further rationally deploy multiple ambient lights on the vehicle.

[0026] In one possible implementation, the aforementioned ambient lights are deployed in at least two of the following locations: the vehicle's central control screen, the center armrest, below the window glass, the door storage compartment, and the air conditioning vents.

[0027] In one possible implementation, the aforementioned preset conditions further include the vehicle traveling on a preset route; the preset route includes a stationary area, a straight-ahead route, a left-turn route, a right-turn route, and a reversing route. Specifically, when the vehicle is in the stationary area, the vehicle responds to the vehicle-stationary operation by remaining stationary; when the vehicle is in the straight-ahead route, the vehicle responds to the vehicle-straight-ahead operation by proceeding straight; when the vehicle is in the left-turn route, the vehicle responds to the vehicle-left-turn operation by turning left; when the vehicle is in the right-turn route, the vehicle responds to the vehicle-right-turn operation by turning right; and when the vehicle is in the reversing route, the vehicle responds to the vehicle-reversing operation by reversing.

[0029] In one possible implementation, the above-mentioned vehicle stationary operation, vehicle straight-moving operation, vehicle left-turning operation, vehicle right-turning operation, and vehicle reversing operation each correspond to at least one gaze object.

[0030] Based on the aforementioned technical means, this application ensures that the ambient lighting test is consistent with the driver's gaze direction during daily driving by configuring a corresponding gaze object for each vehicle driving operation, thus making the ambient lighting test meaningful.

[0031] According to a second aspect of this application, an ambient light evaluation device is provided, including a determining unit.

[0049] It should be noted that the technical effects of any of the implementation methods in aspects two through six can be found in the technical effects of the corresponding implementation methods in aspect one, and will not be repeated here.

[0050] It should be understood that the above general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only, and do not limit this application. Attached Figure Description

[0059] The embodiments of this application will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this application from the content disclosed in this specification. This application can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments, and various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this application. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments are only for illustrating this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application.

[0060] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of this application. Therefore, the drawings only show the components related to this application and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components in the actual implementation. In the actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0061] In the description of the embodiments, unless otherwise stated, " / " means "or". For example, A / B can mean A or B. The "and / or" in this document is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, and B alone. Furthermore, "at least one" and "more than one" refer to two or more. The terms "first," "second," etc., do not limit the quantity or execution order, and "first," "second," etc., do not necessarily imply that they are different.

[0062] Currently, the use of ambient lighting in vehicles is increasing, and the potential safety hazards are also becoming more apparent. Ambient lighting is installed in a wide range of locations, from the roof and center console screen to the floor, but the safety performance of these locations varies. Improperly designed placement of ambient lighting can cause glare on windows and rearview mirrors, thus interfering with driving and posing safety risks.

[0063] However, the safety tests conducted on vehicles before they are launched in related technologies mainly assess the vehicles through crash tests and performance tests. These assessments do not include evaluations of the safety of ambient lighting, making it difficult to identify any potential safety risks. Furthermore, the evaluations of ambient lighting in these technologies primarily focus on the characteristics of the ambient lighting itself, assessing how it is perceived by the human eye, such as its brightness and color, without considering its placement or layout to determine if it poses any safety hazards.

[0064] In addition, while the brightness, color, and presentation mode of ambient lighting are relatively controllable for the driver, the placement of ambient lighting in the vehicle is difficult to control. Therefore, the placement of ambient lighting has a more significant impact on driving safety.

[0065] To address the aforementioned issues, this application proposes an ambient lighting evaluation method, apparatus, device, and storage medium. The ambient lighting evaluation apparatus, under preset conditions, determines the influence index of each of multiple objects of gaze on the vehicle, thus obtaining multiple influence indices. The preset conditions include the first ambient light on the vehicle being in an on state. The influence indices indicate the degree to which the light emitted by the first ambient light affects the driver's vision while observing each object. Furthermore, the ambient lighting evaluation apparatus determines the safety index of the first ambient light based on the multiple influence indices.

[0066] In this way, in the ambient light evaluation method provided in this application, when the first ambient light on the vehicle is in the on state, the influence index of each of the multiple objects of gaze on the vehicle is determined, the degree of influence on the driver's vision under the first ambient light is determined, and then a safety index that reflects the safety of the deployment position of the first ambient light is obtained based on the influence index of each object of gaze. The appropriateness of the deployment position of the first ambient light is judged based on the safety index, thereby realizing the safety evaluation of the deployment position of the ambient light.

[0067] Figure 1 An ambient lighting evaluation system is shown. The ambient lighting evaluation method provided in this application embodiment can be applied to, for example, Figure 1 The ambient lighting assessment system shown is used to conduct safety assessments of ambient lighting deployment locations. For example... Figure 1As shown, the ambient lighting evaluation system 10 includes an ambient lighting evaluation device 11, an ambient lighting control device 12, an ambient light 13, a server 14, and a vehicle 15.

[0068] The ambient lighting evaluation device 11 is connected to both the ambient lighting control device 12 and the server 14. The ambient lighting control device 12 is also connected to the ambient lighting 13. In the above connections, the ambient lighting evaluation device 11 and the server 14 are connected wirelessly, while the ambient lighting control device 12 and the ambient lighting 13 are connected via a wired connection. The connection between the ambient lighting evaluation device 11 and the ambient lighting control device 12 can be either wired or wireless; this embodiment does not specifically limit the connection in this way.

[0069] It should be noted that the aforementioned ambient lighting evaluation device 11, ambient lighting control device 12, and ambient lighting 13 are deployed in vehicle 15. Figure 1 The ambient light 13 shown in the example is used to indicate that ambient lights are deployed on the vehicle, and does not constitute a limitation on the number of ambient lights or their deployment location.

[0070] In some embodiments, ambient lights deployed at various locations, such as the deployment locations on the vehicle, are as follows: Figure 2 As shown.

[0071] It should be noted that the ambient light 13 is deployed in at least two of the following locations: the vehicle's central control screen, the center armrest, below the windows, the door storage compartment, and the air conditioning vents.

[0072] In some embodiments, where the vehicle 15 is not equipped with ambient lighting 13, then, for example, Figure 3 As shown, multiple ambient light strips 16, vehicle power supply equipment 17, and splitter 18 are used to simulate the ambient light 13 deployed inside the vehicle 15.

[0073] Multiple ambient light strips 16 are connected to the vehicle power supply equipment 17 via a splitter 18, so that the vehicle power supply equipment 17 can supply power to the multiple ambient light strips 16 respectively, so that the multiple ambient light strips 16 can achieve the display effect of ambient light 13.

[0074] In some embodiments, Figure 1 The ambient lighting control device 12, ambient lighting 13, and vehicle 15 in the ambient lighting evaluation system 10 shown can be implemented based on VR devices. The ambient lighting evaluation device 11 is connected to the VR device and the server 14 respectively to realize the safety evaluation of the deployment location of the ambient lighting.

[0075] The ambient light control device 12 can be used to control the ambient light 13 to turn on and off, and adjust the ambient light 13 to be in the on or off state.

[0076] The ambient light 13 can be switched to the on state in response to the on operation of the ambient light control device 12; it can also be switched to the off state in response to the off operation of the ambient light control device 12.

[0077] Server 14 can be used to respond to the operations of the maintenance personnel of ambient lighting evaluation system 10 and obtain the impact indicators of the objects being gazed upon.

[0078] Server 14 can also be used to send the acquired influence index of the gaze object to ambient light evaluation device 11 after acquiring the influence index of the gaze object.

[0079] The ambient lighting evaluation device 11 can be used to determine the influence index of each of the multiple objects of gaze of the vehicle when the vehicle meets the preset conditions, and obtain multiple influence indices.

[0080] The ambient light evaluation device 11 can also be used to determine the safety index of the first ambient light based on multiple influencing indicators.

[0081] Figure 4 This is a flowchart illustrating an ambient lighting evaluation method according to some exemplary embodiments. In some embodiments, the above-described ambient lighting evaluation method can be applied to, for example... Figure 1 The ambient lighting evaluation system 10 shown includes an ambient lighting evaluation device 11. Hereinafter, this application will describe the ambient lighting evaluation method by taking the application of the ambient lighting evaluation method to the ambient lighting evaluation device 11 as an example.

[0082] like Figure 4 As shown, the ambient light evaluation method provided in this application includes the following steps S201-S202.

[0083] S201. The ambient lighting evaluation device determines the influence index of each of the multiple objects of gaze on the vehicle when the vehicle meets the preset conditions, and obtains multiple influence indices.

[0084] The preset conditions include that the first ambient light on the vehicle is turned on, and the first ambient light includes at least one ambient light on the vehicle; the influence index is used to indicate the degree of influence of the light emitted by the first ambient light on the driver's vision while the driver is observing each object.

[0085] As one possible implementation, the ambient lighting evaluation device responds to the start command of the ambient lighting evaluation process from the maintenance personnel, detects the status of multiple ambient lights on the vehicle, and determines that the vehicle meets preset conditions after detecting that the first ambient light is on. Furthermore, after determining that the vehicle meets the preset conditions, the ambient lighting evaluation device determines the influence index of each of the multiple objects of gaze on the vehicle, thus obtaining multiple influence indices.

[0086] In some embodiments, the first ambient light can be a single ambient light or multiple ambient lights, and this application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0087] When the first ambient light is a single ambient light, the ambient light evaluation device determines whether the vehicle meets the preset conditions by: detecting whether the single ambient light is on; if so, determining that the vehicle meets the preset conditions, and then determining the influence index of each of the multiple objects of gaze on the vehicle, thus obtaining multiple influence indices. Otherwise, determining that the vehicle does not meet the preset conditions.

[0088] When there are multiple ambient lights, the ambient light evaluation device determines whether the vehicle meets the preset conditions by detecting whether each ambient light is on. If all ambient lights are on, the vehicle is determined to meet the preset conditions, and then the influence index of each of the multiple objects of gaze on the vehicle is determined, resulting in multiple influence indices. If any one of the ambient lights is off, the vehicle is determined not to meet the preset conditions.

[0089] For example, a vehicle may include five ambient lights (A, B, C, D, and E) deployed in different locations.

[0090] When the first ambient light is a single ambient light, the first ambient light can be any one of A, B, C, D, or E. For example, if the first ambient light is C, the ambient light evaluation device determines that the vehicle meets the preset conditions when it detects that ambient light C is in the on state.

[0091] When the first ambient light consists of multiple ambient lights, it can be any combination of five ambient lights (A, B, C, D, E). For example, the first ambient light can be two ambient lights (A and B), three ambient lights (A, B, C, D, E), or all five ambient lights (A, B, C, D, E). For instance, if the first ambient light consists of three ambient lights (A, B, and D), the ambient light evaluation device determines that the vehicle meets the preset conditions if all three ambient lights (A, B, and D) are on; if any one of the ambient lights (A, B, and D) is off, such as ambient light B being off, the vehicle does not meet the preset conditions.

[0092] Understandably, when the first ambient light is a single ambient light, the ambient light evaluation method provided in this application can evaluate the deployment location of a single ambient light. When the first ambient light is multiple ambient lights, the ambient light evaluation method provided in this application can comprehensively evaluate the combination of multiple ambient lights, realize multi-dimensional evaluation of the ambient light deployment location, and improve the safety of users using ambient lights.

[0093] In some embodiments, the preset condition further includes the second ambient light being off. The ambient light evaluation device determines that the vehicle meets the preset condition when it detects that the first ambient light is on and the second ambient light is off.

[0094] The second ambient light is any ambient light on the vehicle other than the first ambient light, and the placement of the ambient lights on the vehicle varies.

[0095] It should be noted that when the first ambient light consists of multiple ambient lights, the second ambient light refers to all other ambient lights on the vehicle besides those in the first ambient light group. For example, based on the above example, if the vehicle includes five ambient lights (A, B, C, D, and E) deployed in different locations, and the first ambient light consists of three ambient lights (A, B, and D), then the second ambient light consists of two ambient lights (C and E) excluding A, B, and D.

[0096] It should be noted that when the ambient light evaluation device detects that the first ambient light is off, but there is still an ambient light in the second ambient light that is not off, it sends an ambient light off command including the identifier of the second ambient light to the ambient light control device, so that the ambient light control device responds to the ambient light off command and turns off the second ambient light.

[0097] Understandably, by keeping only the first ambient light on, the ambient light evaluation device can avoid being interfered with by other ambient lights that are on when determining image indicators.

[0098] In some embodiments, the multiple ambient lights are deployed in the vehicle at at least two of the following locations: the vehicle infotainment screen, the center armrest, below the window glass, the door storage compartment, and the air conditioning vents.

[0099] In some embodiments, the aforementioned impact indicators include an interference level score and / or a glare indicator; the interference level score is used to indicate the degree of interference to the driver of the vehicle during the observation of each object being gazed upon, and the glare indicator is used to indicate whether the light emitted by the first ambient light causes glare to the object being gazed upon during the observation of each object being gazed upon.

[0100] It should be noted that, when the influence index is an interference degree score, the aforementioned ambient lighting evaluation device determines the influence index for each of the multiple gaze objects on the vehicle, including:

[0101] The ambient lighting assessment device acquires the interference level score of each gaze object input by the driver after observing multiple gaze objects in sequence, and establishes a mapping relationship between multiple gaze objects and multiple interference level scores.

[0102] Optionally, the ambient lighting evaluation device is connected to a light acquisition device deployed at the driver's position. The ambient lighting evaluation device sequentially adjusts the orientation of the light acquisition device to multiple objects of gaze and acquires the light data collected by the light acquisition device. Furthermore, based on the light data corresponding to each object of gaze, the ambient lighting evaluation device determines an interference level score for each object of gaze.

[0103] For example, the lighting data may include the brightness data and angle data of the ambient light, including the rotation angle of the light acquisition device after it is adjusted to face the object being viewed. Further, the ambient light evaluation device determines the direction from the light acquisition device to the ambient light based on the deployment positions of the light acquisition device and the ambient light, and determines the orientation direction of the light acquisition device based on its rotation angle, thereby determining the angle between the orientation direction of the light acquisition device and the direction from the light acquisition device to the ambient light. Further, when the angle is less than or equal to 90 degrees, the ambient light evaluation device determines the interference level score for the corresponding object being viewed based on the brightness data of the ambient light and the cosine value of the angle; when the angle is greater than 90 degrees, the ambient light evaluation device determines the interference level score for the corresponding object being viewed based on the brightness data of the ambient light and a preset ratio, thus obtaining an interference level score for each object being viewed.

[0104] For example, the interference scores corresponding to the n gaze objects are α1, α2, α3, ..., α n .

[0105] When the impact index is glare, the aforementioned ambient lighting evaluation device determines the impact index for each of the multiple objects of gaze on the vehicle, including:

[0106] The ambient lighting assessment device acquires the glare identifier of each object the driver observes in sequence, and establishes a mapping relationship between multiple objects and multiple glare identifiers.

[0107] Optionally, the ambient lighting evaluation device and the glare detection device deployed at the driver's position are configured such that the ambient lighting evaluation device sequentially adjusts the orientation of the glare detection device to multiple objects of gaze and acquires the glare intensity detected by the glare detection device. Further, the ambient lighting evaluation device determines a glare indicator for each object of gaze based on the glare intensity corresponding to each object of gaze and a preset glare intensity. Specifically, if the glare intensity is greater than the preset glare intensity, it is determined that the light emitted by the first ambient light caused glare to the object of gaze; otherwise, the light emitted by the first ambient light did not cause glare to the object of gaze.

[0108] For example, the glare detection device can be a glare meter. The glare intensity corresponding to each gaze object can be the glare brightness collected by the glare meter. If the glare brightness is greater than the preset glare brightness (50%), the glare flag corresponding to the gaze object is determined to be 1, otherwise it is 0.

[0109] For example, the glare identifiers corresponding to the n objects of gaze are β1, β2, β3, ..., β n .

[0110] In some embodiments, the preset conditions also include the vehicle traveling on a preset route; the preset route includes a stationary area, a straight route, a left-turn route, a right-turn route, and a reversing route.

[0111] For example, the preset line is as follows Figure 5 As shown, there are designated areas for stationary traffic, straight-ahead traffic, left-turn traffic, right-turn traffic, and reverse traffic.

[0112] Specifically, when the vehicle is in a stationary area, the vehicle responds to the stationary operation by remaining stationary; when the vehicle is in a straight-ahead lane, the vehicle responds to the straight-ahead operation by proceeding straight; when the vehicle is in a left-turn lane, the vehicle responds to the left-turn operation by turning left; when the vehicle is in a right-turn lane, the vehicle responds to the right-turn operation by turning right; and when the vehicle is in a reversing lane, the vehicle responds to the reversing operation by reversing.

[0113] It should be noted that each of the following operations—stationary vehicle operation, straight-moving vehicle operation, left-turning vehicle operation, right-turning vehicle operation, and reversing vehicle operation—corresponds to at least one object of gaze.

[0114] For example, the mapping relationship between vehicle driving operations and gaze objects is shown in Table 1 below.

[0115] Table 1: Mapping Relationship Between Vehicle Driving Operations and Objects of Gaze

[0116]

[0117] It should be noted that drivers can travel at a speed of 15-25 km / h when driving the vehicle along the preset route. In response to instructions issued by the maintenance personnel of the ambient lighting evaluation system, the system determines the impact indicators of the objects being observed and inputs these indicators into the ambient lighting evaluation device.

[0118] For example, when the vehicle is traveling in a straight line and performing a vehicle operation, the driver responds to the instruction "Please observe the windshield", observes the object being looked at and reports the glare indicator and interference level score. Accordingly, the ambient light evaluation device obtains the glare indicator and interference level score reported by the driver.

[0119] When the vehicle is in the left-turn lane and performing a left-turn operation, the driver responds to the instructions "Please observe the windshield", "Please observe the left side window" and "Please observe the left rearview mirror", observes the objects of gaze in sequence, and reports the glare indicator and interference level score corresponding to each object of gaze. Correspondingly, the ambient light evaluation device obtains the glare indicator and interference level score corresponding to each object of gaze reported by the driver.

[0120] When the vehicle is in the right turn lane and performing a right turn operation, the driver responds to the instructions "Please observe the windshield", "Please observe the right side window" and "Please observe the right rearview mirror", observes the objects of gaze in sequence, and reports the glare indicator and interference level score corresponding to each object of gaze. Correspondingly, the ambient light evaluation device obtains the glare indicator and interference level score corresponding to each object of gaze reported by the driver.

[0121] When the vehicle is in the reversing lane and the reversing operation is performed, the driver responds to the instructions "Please observe the central rearview mirror", "Please observe the vehicle's central control screen", "Please observe the left rearview mirror" and "Please observe the right rearview mirror" in turn, observes the objects being looked at in sequence, and reports the glare indicator and interference level score corresponding to each object being looked at. Correspondingly, the ambient light evaluation device obtains the glare indicator and interference level score corresponding to each object being looked at as reported by the driver.

[0122] Based on the above process, the ambient light evaluation device obtains multiple influencing indicators corresponding to the first ambient light.

[0123] S202. The ambient light evaluation device determines the safety index of the first ambient light based on multiple influencing indicators.

[0124] As one possible implementation, after determining multiple influencing indicators based on the above step S201, the ambient light evaluation device calculates the average value of the multiple influencing indicators and determines the obtained average influencing indicator as the safety index of the first ambient light.

[0125] In some embodiments, where the impact indicators include interference level score and glare indicator, the ambient light evaluation device determines the safety index of the first ambient light based on multiple impact indicators, including:

[0126] The ambient lighting evaluation device determines the interference index of the first ambient light based on the interference level score included in multiple influence indicators, and determines the glare frequency of the first ambient light based on the glare indicator included in multiple influence indicators. Furthermore, the ambient lighting evaluation device determines the safety index of the first ambient light based on the interference index and the glare frequency.

[0127] The interference index is used to characterize the degree of interference that the first ambient light causes to the driver's vehicle.

[0128] It should be noted that the interference level score can range from 1 to 10, where 1 represents no interference at all and 10 represents very high interference, with the interference level gradually increasing from 1 to 10. The glare indicator can be 1 to indicate the presence of glare and 0 to indicate the absence of glare; this embodiment does not specifically limit this. When the interference level score ranges from 1 to 10, since the interference index is the average of the interference level scores of multiple objects being observed, the interference index also ranges from 1 to 10. A higher interference index indicates a more severe interference to vehicle driving caused by the ambient light's placement. The glare frequency ranges from 0% to 100%, with a higher glare frequency indicating a wider glare range caused by the ambient light's placement.

[0129] For example, if the interference level scores included in multiple influence indicators are G1, G2, G3, G4, G5, G6, G7, and G8, and the glare indicators are 1, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0 (1 represents glare, and 0 represents no glare), then the ambient light evaluation device calculates the average of the multiple interference level scores to determine the interference index of the first ambient light as (G1+G2+G3+G4+G5+G6+G7+G8) / 8; and based on the ratio of the number of glare indicators to the total number of glare indicators, determines the glare frequency of the first ambient light as 2 / 8*100% = 25%. Further, based on the determined interference index and glare frequency of the first ambient light, the ambient light evaluation device determines the safety index of the first ambient light as 10-(G1+G2+G3+G4+G5+G6+G7+G8) / 8*25%.

[0130] For example, the ambient light evaluation device can calculate the interference index of the first ambient light using the following formula:

[0131]

[0132] Where α is the interference index of the first ambient light, with a value ranging from 1 to 10. i Let be the interference score corresponding to the i-th gaze object, and n be the number of gaze objects.

[0133] For example, the ambient light evaluation device can calculate the glare frequency of the first ambient light using the following formula:

[0134]

[0135] Where β is the glare frequency of the first ambient light, β i Let n be the glare indicator for the i-th gaze target, and n be the number of gaze targets. For example, the ambient light evaluation device can calculate the safety index of the first ambient light using the following formula:

[0136] X = 10 - α*β, (0 ≤ X ≤ 10)

[0137] Where X represents the safety index of the first ambient light.

[0138] Optionally, preset conditions also include the vehicle driving in a target scenario, which includes a dry ambient light constantly on scenario, a dry ambient light flashing scenario, a rainy ambient light constantly on scenario, and a rainy ambient light flashing scenario.

[0139] The ambient lighting evaluation device determines the interference index of the first ambient light based on interference level scores included in multiple influence indicators, including:

[0140] The ambient lighting evaluation device determines multiple impact indicators of the first ambient light in each target scenario, thus obtaining multiple impact indicators corresponding to each target scenario. Furthermore, the ambient lighting evaluation device determines the interference index of the first ambient light based on the interference degree scores included in the multiple impact indicators in each target scenario.

[0141] For example, if the interference level scores for a dry, constantly lit ambient light scenario are G1, G2, G3, G4, and G5; the interference level scores for a dry, flickering ambient light scenario are H1, H2, H3, H4, and H5; the interference level scores for a rainy, constantly lit ambient light scenario are I1, I2, I3, I4, and I5; and the interference level scores for a rainy, flickering ambient light scenario are J1, J2, J3, J4, and J5, then the ambient light evaluation device determines the interference index of the first ambient light to be (G1+G2+G3+G4+G5+H1+H2+H3+H4+H5+I1+I2+I3+I4+I5+J1+J2+J3+J4+J5) / 20.

[0142] The ambient lighting evaluation device determines the glare frequency of a first ambient light based on glare indicators, which are included among multiple influencing factors.

[0143] The ambient lighting evaluation device determines multiple impact indicators of the first ambient light in each target scenario, thus obtaining multiple impact indicators corresponding to each target scenario. Furthermore, the ambient lighting evaluation device determines the glare frequency of the first ambient light based on the glare indicators included in the multiple impact indicators for each target scenario.

[0144] For example, if the glare indicators for a dry, constantly lit ambient light scenario are 1, 1, 0, 0, 0; the glare indicators for a dry, flickering ambient light scenario are 0, 1, 0, 0, 0; the glare indicators for a rainy, constantly lit ambient light scenario are 1, 0, 1, 0, 0; and the glare indicators for a rainy, flickering ambient light scenario are 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, then the ambient light evaluation device determines that the number of glare indicators is 6, the total number of glare indicators is 20, and further determines that the glare frequency of the first ambient light is 6 / 20*100% = 30%.

[0145] In some embodiments, the ambient light evaluation device stores a mapping relationship between the safety index, safety level, and deployment recommendations of the ambient light. After determining the safety index of the first ambient light, the ambient light evaluation device determines the safety level of the first ambient light and the deployment recommendations for the first ambient light based on the safety index.

[0146] For example, the mapping relationship between security index, security level, and deployment recommendations is shown in Table 2 below.

[0147] Table 2: Mapping Relationship between Security Index, Security Level, and Deployment Recommendations

[0148]

[0149] Understandably, in the ambient light evaluation method provided in the above embodiments of this application, when the first ambient light on the vehicle is in the on state, the influence index of each of the multiple objects of gaze on the vehicle is determined, the degree of influence on the driver's vision under the first ambient light is determined, and then a safety index that can reflect the safety of the deployment position of the first ambient light is obtained based on the influence index of each object of gaze. The safety index is used to judge whether the deployment position of the first ambient light is appropriate, thereby realizing the safety evaluation of the deployment position of the ambient light.

[0150] In one design, to determine whether the deployment of all ambient lights on a vehicle would pose a safety hazard, the ambient light evaluation method provided in this application embodiment, such as... Figure 6 As shown, it also includes S301-S302.

[0151] S301, Ambient Light Evaluation Device determines the safety index of each ambient light among multiple ambient lights.

[0152] It should be noted that the ambient light evaluation device determines the safety index of each ambient light by referring to the implementation method of the safety index of the first ambient light described in the above embodiments of this application, and then processing all the ambient lights in sequence. This will not be elaborated here.

[0153] S302. The ambient lighting evaluation device determines the overall ambient lighting score of the vehicle based on the safety index of each ambient light.

[0154] Among them, the overall vehicle ambient lighting score is used to characterize the safety of the deployment locations of multiple ambient lights on the vehicle.

[0155] As one possible implementation, the ambient lighting evaluation device sums the safety indices of each ambient light and divides the sum by the number of ambient lights to obtain an average safety index for the multiple ambient lights. Further, the ambient lighting evaluation device determines the average safety index as the overall ambient lighting score for the vehicle.

[0156] In some embodiments, the ambient lighting evaluation device stores the safety weight corresponding to each ambient light, and determines the overall ambient lighting score of the vehicle based on the safety index of each ambient light, including:

[0157] The ambient lighting evaluation device retrieves the safety weight of each ambient light from the storage space, and determines the overall ambient lighting score of the vehicle based on the safety weight of each ambient light and the safety index of each ambient light.

[0158] For example, if the safety weights of each ambient light in a plurality of ambient lights are a1, a2...a... n The safety index of each of the multiple ambient lights is X1, X2...X n Where n is the number of ambient lights, the overall ambient lighting score Y of the vehicle can be calculated using the following formula.

[0159] Y = a1X1 + a2X2 + ... + a n X n

[0160]

[0161] It needs to be explained that a1~a n The ambient lighting evaluation system can be pre-configured in the ambient lighting evaluation device by the maintenance personnel of the ambient lighting evaluation system; however, this application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0162] In some embodiments, the ambient lighting evaluation device stores a mapping relationship between the vehicle's overall ambient lighting score, safety level, and deployment recommendations. After determining the vehicle's overall ambient lighting score, the ambient lighting evaluation device determines the vehicle's ambient lighting safety level and deployment recommendations for multiple ambient lights on the vehicle based on the overall ambient lighting score.

[0163] For example, the mapping relationship between the vehicle ambient lighting rating and safety level and deployment recommendations is shown in Table 3 below.

[0164] Table 3: Mapping Relationship between Vehicle Ambient Lighting Rating, Safety Level, and Deployment Recommendations

[0165]

[0166] It is understood that in the ambient light evaluation method provided in the embodiments of this application, after determining the safety index of the ambient light deployed at each deployment location in sequence, the overall deployment of the ambient light of the current vehicle is evaluated to determine whether the vehicle has any safety defects, so as to avoid accidents caused to the driver due to the location deployment problem of the ambient light after the vehicle is put into operation.
