  "textContent": "A vehicular trailer hitching assist system includes a camera disposed at a rear portion of a vehicle and viewing a hitch ball of a trailer hitch of the vehicle. The system determines a position of the hitch ball within frames of image data, and determines an angle based on a lateral offset distance of the camera relative to the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle and a lateral offset distance of the hitch ball relative to the longitudinal centerline of the vehicle. The system determines height of the hitch ball based on the determined angle and the lateral offset distance of the camera and the lateral offset distance of the hitch ball. The system determines a hitch-ball ground position based on the determined height of the hitch ball. The system utilizes the determined height of the hitch ball and the determined hitch-ball ground position during a hitching maneuver of the vehicle.",
