  • Publication number: 20240087159
    Abstract: A method for estimating a trailer wheel position includes identifying a first set of wheel locations in at least a first image. Each of the wheel locations in the first set of wheel locations is associated with a corresponding trailer angle. A subset of wheel locations is identified in the first set of wheel locations as being false positives and the false positives are removed from the first set of wheel locations. A quadratic regression is applied to the first set of wheel locations and a parabola curve is determined relating a y position in the at least the first image to an x position in the at least the first image. A trailer angle is determined. A current wheel location is estimated by applying the determined trailer angle to the parabola curve.
