DETERMINING AN ANGLE OF A MOVEMENT PATH OF A TRAILER

Systems and methods for determining an angle of a movement path of a trailer (). The system () for determining an angle of a movement path of a trailer () comprises a camera (); and an electronic controller () communicatively coupled to the camera () and configured to receive first data from the camera (), determine an absolute angle of the trailer () based on matching one portion of an image received in the first data to a template, receive second data from the camera (), estimate a change in the angle of the trailer () based on tracking one or more points on the trailer () received in the second data, and determine the angle of the movement path of the trailer () based upon the trailer angle and the change in the angle of the trailer ().
