Projecting a light pattern for object detection in a scene facing a vehicle

Abstract

The invention relates to a method comprising determining (501) a first object detection result. If the first object detection result satisfies each activation condition of a driver assistance function, an activation signal is transmitted (504) to a control device which obtains (506) a light intensity map corresponding to a light pattern and indicating light intensity values ​​for controlling luminous elements of a pixelated light source from a light module. The light intensity map is transmitted (507) for projection (508) of a first pixelated light beam according to the light pattern. Following the projection, a first representative image of the scene is obtained (509) and a depth map is determined (510). A second object detection result is determined (511) from the determined depth map. FIG. 5
