METHOD FOR DETERMINING A PITCHING MOVEMENT IN A CAMERA INSTALLED IN A VEHICLE, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A LIGHT EMISSION FROM AT LEAST ONE HEADLAMP ON A VEHICLE

摘要

A method for determining a pitch of a camera installed in a vehicle includes: production of first image gradient data from a first camera image, the first image gradient data representing a brightness change of adjacent pixels of the first camera image along a vertical axis of the first camera image; production of second image gradient data from a second camera image recorded subsequent to the first camera image, the second image gradient data representing a brightness change of adjacent pixels of the second camera image along a vertical axis of the second camera image; generation of an image displacement value, which represents a displacement of a pixel of the second camera image in relation to a corresponding pixel of the first camera image; and ascertainment of a pitch based on the image displacement value.
