Systems and methods for estimation of vehicle hitchball location are disclosed. A plurality of image frames may be received from a rear-facing camera of a vehicle. The rear-facing camera may be directed at a front of a trailer that is coupled to the vehicle at a hitchball. An approximate lateral location of the hitchball coupled to the vehicle may be determined by obtaining a plurality of cropped images along a hitch drawbar coupled to the vehicle by stepping along the vertical direction, and performing a stepwise lateral scan, centered at the hitch drawbar.
