DEVICE AND METHOD FOR SURROUND VIEW CAMERA SYSTEM FOR VEHICLE AND TRAILER

A method is for operating a surround view camera system for a vehicle towing a trailer. The method includes generating first image data at a first time using a first imaging device operably connected to a front side of the vehicle or a rear side of the trailer, and generating second image data at a second time using the first imaging device. The second time is different from the first time. The method also includes generating third image data using a second imaging device operably connected to a rear side of the vehicle, and receiving vehicle data with a processor as generated by at least one vehicle sensor. The vehicle data corresponds to movement of the vehicle from the first time to the second time. The processor receives the generated first image data, the second image data, and the third image data.
