Abstract
A headlight control system (10) for a motor vehicle including, a controllable headlight (24) adapted to generate variable illumination of the vehicle environment, an imaging apparatus (11) adapted to capture images (100) from a region in front of the motor vehicle, and a data processing device (14) adapted to perform image processing of images (100) captured by the imaging apparatus (11) and to vary the light characteristics of the controllable headlight (24) depending on the image processing. A machine learning model (27) is implemented in the data processing device (14) which is trained to estimate and output an output signal (29) representing a desired illumination of the vehicle environment from one or more images (28) received as input from the imaging apparatus (11).
