System and method for determining and adjusting the setting of at least one motor vehicle headlight

Abstract

A system for determining the setting of at least one headlight (5) in a motor vehicle (4) comprises a chassis measurement system (9) designed and configured to determine the position and orientation of the body (6) of the motor vehicle (4), and at least one light sensor (20) designed and configured to capture an image of at least part of the light emitted by the at least one headlight (5). The at least one light sensor (20) is connected to an optically detectable pattern (16) that makes it possible to determine the position and orientation of the at least one light sensor (20).The system also includes an evaluation device (22) which is designed and configured to determine the current setting of the at least one headlight (5) from the image taken by the at least one light sensor (20), taking into account the position and orientation of the body (6) and / or the geometric driving axis and / or the longitudinal center axis (A) of the motor vehicle (4) and the at least one light sensor (20) determined by the chassis measurement system (9).
