Abstract
This invention discloses a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for assisting tractor docking. The method is applied to a docking assistance controller, which is mounted on a tractor equipped with at least one camera. If a trailer to be docked is within the camera's field of view, the method acquires a vehicle image captured by the camera. The method then determines the trailer's characteristic dimensions within the vehicle image; based on these dimensions, it determines the relative position between the tractor and the trailer; and based on this relative position, it outputs docking assistance information to instruct the tractor and trailer to dock. By determining the relative position based on the trailer's characteristic dimensions and outputting docking assistance information to instruct the driver to dock the tractor and trailer, the method improves docking efficiency and reduces labor costs.
