Abstract
A trailer angle identification system comprises an imaging device configured to capture an image. An angle sensor is configured to measure a first angle of the trailer relative to a vehicle. A controller is configured to process the image in a neural network and estimate a second angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle based on the image. The controller is further configured to train the neural network based on a difference between the first angle and the second angle.
