VEHICULAR TRAILERING ASSIST SYSTEM WITH AUTOMATIC TRAILER RECOGNITION

A vehicular trailering assist system includes a camera disposed at a vehicle and viewing at least rearward of the vehicle. The vehicular trailering assist system transforms captured image data into a bird's-eye view of the hitch of the trailer, and accesses a plurality of stored trailer templates, with each respective trailer template being generated during a previous calibration of the system for a respective trailer. The vehicular trailering assist system generates a matching score based on a comparison between a stored trailer template and the transformed bird's-eye view. The vehicular trailering assist system, responsive to determining that the matching score for one of the plurality of stored trailer templates exceeds a threshold matching score, tracks a trailer angle of the trailer using the one plurality of stored trailer templates.
