  "textContent": "A system and method for locating a trailer coupler on a trailer to assist with the coupling of the trailer coupler to a vehicle hitch on a vehicle. The system includes a human-machine interface, a vehicle camera and a trailer camera, a mobile device application (App) with access to camera and mobile network a vehicle-to-infrastructure communication network, controllers, a memory, sensors, and a trailer detection and trajectory planning application. The application includes: initializing a data stream from the vehicle and trailer camera, capturing the data stream from the vehicle camera and from the trailer camera, determining key landmarks in the data stream, combining the key landmarks, determining a coupler location, computing a joint reference trajectory using the coupler location, and providing navigation assistance in real time based on the joint reference trajectory.",
