What does AI have to do with headlights? - Part1

Too bright or too dark... With car headlights, both options are dangerous. But not all headlights are the same. The settings are becoming more and more challenging.

"Testing devices are used for the approval and regular inspection of headlights in the automotive sector. These use sensors to record the intensity distribution of the headlamp light and evaluate it using predefined evaluation procedures. New technologies such as matrix LED headlamps and a large number of new manufacturer-dependent "Advanced Frontlighting System" (AFS) light distributions pose major challenges for existing evaluation methods. They also require workshop mechanics to have increasingly extensive knowledge when using the test equipment." This is what it says in the technical article of the Mittelstand Digital Zentrum Chemnitz about the project "Classifying headlights using AI", which you can read again in full here.

We are part of the project and your contact for software development and image processing. The project and initial results were presented at the SpectroNet Collaboration Conference 2023 in Erfurt. These already show the high potential of AI in the field of image processing and sensor technology and are an example of AI projects that we can implement for our customers.
