DRAWBAR SCAN SOLUTION FOR LOCATING TRAILER HITCH POINT

A system for locating an imaged hitch point between a vehicle and a trailer is provided herein. An imaging device is configured to capture images of the trailer. A controller is configured to select two images captured by the imaging device and derive an edge map for each of the two images. The controller determines the location of the imaged hitch point based on differences in pixel intensity associated with a number of predefined pixel positions common to the two images.
