Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to controlling headlights and more particularly to a system and method for automatically controlling vehicle headlights using image processing techniques.In one embodiment, a Headlight Controlling Device for automatically controlling vehicle headlights is disclosed. The Headlight Controlling Device comprises a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor. The memory stores processor instructions, which, on execution, causes the processor to collect at least one of vehicle information, vehicle speed, road information, area information, weather information or a multimedia object associated with a forward path of the vehicle. The processor further determines a current light intensity distribution of the vehicle headlight based on the multimedia object. The processor further compares the current light intensity distribution of the vehicle headlight with an optimal light intensity distribution, wherein the optimal light intensity distribution is retrieved from a database based on at least one of the vehicle information, the vehicle speed, the road information, the area information or the weather information. The processor further cont…
