A method in a computerized system including an image sensor mounted in a
moving vehicle. The image sensor captures image frames consecutively in
real time. In one of the image flames, a spot is detected of measurable
brightness; the spot is matched in subsequent image frames. The image

another vehicle control system. The spot and the corresponding spot are
images of the same object. The object is typically one or more of
headlights from an oncoming vehicle, taillights of a leading vehicle,
streetlights, street signs and/or traffic signs. Data is acquired from
the spot and from the corresponding spot. By processing the data, the
object (or spot) is classified. producing an object classification. The
vehicle control system controls preferably headlights of the moving
vehicle based on the object classification. The other vehicle control
