Abstract
Detecting a damage angle between a vehicle and a trailer. One example system includes an electronic controller and a rear-view camera configured to obtain video of the trailer. The electronic controller is configured to receive the video of the trailer from the rear-view camera and determine a damage point based upon the video of the trailer. The electronic controller is further configured to determine a change in a rotation angle of the trailer and determine a changed location of the damage point of the trailer based upon the change in the rotation angle of the trailer. The electronic controller is also configured to determine a damage angle based upon the changed location of the damage point relative to the vehicle and determine at least one maneuver to avoid collision between the damage point and the vehicle based upon the damage angle.
