Abstract
The present invention relates to a vehicle lamp system for matching two images projected on a road surface in a case where one image is output in a divided manner by a left lamp and a right lamp in image projection on the road surface by vehicle lamps.
Claims7
A vehicle lamp system comprising:
- a light output unit including a first lamp and a second lamp installed in a vehicle;
- a memory unit for storing an image;
- a camera capturing an image;
- and
- a control unit for processing the image and controlling the first lamp and the second lamp,
- wherein the control unit is configured to divide a single image into a first image and a second image, control the first lamp to output the first image, and control the second lamp to output the second image, the first and second images respectively containing two mutually different portions of the single image,
- wherein the control unit is further configured to control the first lamp and the second lamp to output grid images, respectively, to align a first projection image obtained by projecting the first image output from the first lamp on a road surface and a second projection image obtained by projecting the second image output from the second lamp on the road surface, the first and second projection images being displayed on the road surface,
- wherein the control unit obtains, through the camera, a first projection grid image obtained by projecting the first grid image output from the first lamp on the road surface and a second projection grid image obtained by projecting the second grid image output from the second lamp on the road surface, the first and second projection grid images being displayed on the road surface, and
- wherein, based on overlapping area where a portion of the first projection grid image overlap with the second projection grid image, the control unit adjusts at least one of the first projection grid image or the second projection grid image.

A vehicle lamp system comprising:
- a light output unit including a first lamp and a second lamp installed in a vehicle;
- a memory unit for storing an image;
- a control unit for processing the image and controlling the first lamp and the second lamp;
- and
- a user interface unit for providing a setting mode to a user,
- wherein the control unit is configured to divide one image into a first image and a second image, control the first lamp to output the first image, and control the second lamp to output the second image, and
- wherein the control unit is further configured to control the first lamp and the second lamp to output grid images, respectively, to align a first projection image obtained by projecting the first image output from the first lamp on a road surface and a second projection image obtained by projecting the second image output from the second lamp on the road surface, the first and second projection images being displayed on the road surface,
- wherein, when the grid image output from the first lamp is a first grid image, and the grid image output from the second lamp is a second grid image, the first grid image and the second grid image have a same size and shape,
- wherein, in the setting mode, the user is enabled to set at least one of an angle of the first lamp, image output coordinates of the first image, an angle of the second lamp, or image output coordinates of the second image, and
- wherein the control unit receives information set by the user through the user interface unit and adjusts the angle of the first lamp, the image output coordinates of the first image, the angle of the second lamp, or the image output coordinates of the second image.
