Abstract
A trailer monitoring system for a vehicle includes a processor and a memory communicably coupled to the processor. The memory stores instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to receive, from at least one monocular camera mounted to a vehicle towing a trailer, at least one monocular camera image of at least a portion of the trailer. The instructions also cause the processor to generate at least one depth map based on the at least one monocular camera image. The instructions further cause the processor to identify a trailer irregularity based on the at least one depth map.
