Abstract

Systems and method are provided for a towing vehicle towing a trailer having at least one imaging device. A method includes: receiving, from a first imaging device coupled to the trailer, a first image stream having a plurality of first images; receiving, from a second imaging device coupled to the vehicle, a second image stream having a plurality of second images; determining, at least one common feature between a first image of the first images and a second image of the second images; determining a first distance from the first imaging device to the at least one common feature and a second distance from the second imaging device to the at least one common feature; and determining, a position of the first imaging device relative to the vehicle based on the first distance, the second distance and a known position and pose of the second imaging device.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of US Provisional Application No. 62 / 342,671, filed May 27, 2016, the contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates generally to vehicles, and more particularly to systems and methods for tow vehicles and trailers having surround view imaging devices for determining tow vehicle and trailer dynamics, generating a rear view of the tow vehicle with a transparent trailer , and generate a bird's-eye 360-degree surround view of the towing vehicle and / or trailer. Background technique [0004] In general, certain vehicles, such as motor vehicles, can be used to tow different types of objects that can be mounted on trailers. For example, a motor vehicle may tow a boat, a recreational vehicle, a trailer loaded with one or more objects, and the like. During operation of a towing vehicle with a trailer, it may be difficult to se...
