Abstract

Methods and systems for assisting a driver when coupling a vehicle to a trailer. One method includes (a) obtaining image data of an area to the rear of the vehicle, (b) identifying at least a portion of the trailer based on the image data, (c) determining a distance between the vehicle and the identified portion of the trailer, (d) determining a perspective based on the determined distance, (e) generating, with a controller included in the vehicle, a view of the trailer based on the image data, the view having the determined perspective, and (f) displaying the generated view. The method also includes (g) repeating (c) through (f) as the vehicle nears the trailer, wherein the determined perspective changes as the vehicle gets closer to the trailer.

Description

[0001] related application [0002] This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 989,024, filed May 6, 2014, and U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 992,419, filed May 13, 2014, each of which is filed in its entirety at Incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the present invention relate to methods and systems for assisting a driver in aligning a vehicle hitch with a trailer coupler (or coupler). Background technique [0004] In passenger vehicles, the tow hitch is usually located in a low position at the rear of the vehicle out of sight from the driver. The trailer hitch of the trailer that connects to the hook is located at a similarly lower position. In order to connect the vehicle to a trailer, the driver must position the vehicle so that the tow hitch is in close proximity to the trailer coupler to the detriment of being able to directly see the tow coupler, the trailer coupler, or any parts that may be posi...
