Image processing system and method

An image processing system for processing image data received from first and second imaging devices provided on a towing vehicle and a towed vehicle, the towing vehicle and the towed vehicle being connected to each other by an articulated coupling, the image processing system comprising one or more controller, the image processing system comprising:

• an input configured to receive:
• first image data from a first imaging device disposed on the towed vehicle and having a first field of view, the first image data representing a first scene behind the towed vehicle;
• second image data from a second imaging device disposed on the towing vehicle and having a second field of view, the second image data representing a second scene behind the towing vehicle;
• a processor configured to:
• determine an obscuration region in the second field of view which is obscured by the towed vehicle, identify one or more lateral boundary of the obscuration region and determine an angular coordinate of the or each lateral boundary of the obscuration region;
• determine an area of interest in the first field of view in dependence on the determined obscuration region, the area of interest being contained within the obscuration region;
• and
• select a subsection of the first image data representing at least a portion of the determined area of interest;
• and
• an output configured to output the selected subsection of the first image data.
