Vehicular trailering assist system with hitch ball detection
A vehicular trailer assist system includes a camera at a vehicle and viewing at least a portion of a trailer hitched to the vehicle. A control, responsive to processing of frames of image data captured by the camera and during a calibration maneuver by the vehicle, determines an initial trailer template of trailer hitched to the vehicle. The control, during a turning portion of the calibration maneuver, and at least in part via processing of frames of image data captured by the camera, determines a hitch ball location of a hitch of the vehicle based on the determined initial trailer template. The control, after completion of the calibration maneuver, determines a current trailer angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle via processing of frames of image data captured by the camera and based on the determined hitch ball location as the vehicle is driven along a road.
ELECTRONIC DEVICE FOR DISPLAYING IMAGE BY USING CAMERA MONITORING SYSTEM (CMS) SIDE DISPLAY MOUNTED IN VEHICLE, AND OPERATION METHOD THEREOF
A method, performed by an electronic device installed in a vehicle, of switching a view of an image displayed on a camera monitoring system (CMS) side display, and an electronic device are provided. The disclosure includes an electronic device for displaying, on a camera monitoring system (CMS) side display, a first image representing a surrounding environment image, detecting a lane change signal of the vehicle, and, in response to the detected lane change signal, switching the first image displayed on the CMS side display to a second image representing a top view image showing locations of the vehicle and a surrounding vehicle in a virtual image as looking down from above the vehicle, and displaying the second image, and displaying a lane change user interface (UI) indicating information about whether a lane change is possible on the second image, and an operation method thereof.
TRAILER BACKUP CAMERA SYSTEM
A backup camera system includes a housing configured to be mounted to a back of a trailer at a location of a center marker light of the trailer and having a rear surface offset from and facing away from the trailer, a camera at the housing and configured to capture a rear view of the trailer, a first light at a center of the rear surface of the housing, a second light at the rear surface of the housing and offset from the first light, and a controller within the housing and configured to selectively couple the first light or the second light to a wiring of the center marker light of the trailer.
