Abstract
A method for detecting a load status change of a trailer includes responding to a first triggering event by storing a first snapshot of a trailer that is generated by at least one camera that is local to a vehicle that includes the trailer, responding to a subsequent second triggering event by storing a second snapshot of the trailer that is generated by the at least one camera that is local to the vehicle that includes the trailer, comparing the first snapshot to the second snapshot and determining a deviation between the image of the first snapshot and the image of the second snapshot, and identifying a trailer load status change as having occurred in response to the deviation exceeding a predefined magnitude.
