New headlamp technologies such as Matrix LED and manufacturer-specific AFS light distributions are posing increasing challenges to existing test procedures for the type-approval and inspection of car headlamps. In the project ‘Classification of Headlamps Using AI’ – in collaboration with the Mittelstand-Digital Centre in Chemnitz and the VELOMAT Group – FORTecH is responsible for software development and image processing to support this classification using AI methods.
FORTecH develops the image processing and software components used to capture the intensity distribution of the headlight beam and prepare it for AI-assisted classification. Following a joint analysis of the requirements and the available data, an AI model was developed, which was gradually expanded and trained to achieve the required recognition accuracy. The project partners placed particular emphasis on the explainability and transparency of the solution.
The project delivered an AI model within the predefined accuracy range, as well as a demonstrator application for the headlamp testing software. Initial results were presented at the SpectroNet Collaboration Conference 2023 in Erfurt (video of the conference) and demonstrate the potential of AI in image processing and sensor technology for industrial applications.
