Abstract

A computer system comprising a processor device configured to receive initial image data from at least one camera of a vehicle; detect, in the initial image data, at least one predetermined target mounted to a trailer of the vehicle, the at least one predetermined target at an initial position and initial angular orientation relative to the at least one camera; position a virtual assist feature in a first position and a first angular orientation in a display view based on the initial position and the initial angular orientation of the at least one predetermined target; detect, in subsequent image data, the at least one predetermined target at a subsequent position and a subsequent angular orientation relative to the at least one camera; and adjust the virtual assist feature in the display view based on the subsequent position and the subsequent angular orientation relative to the at least one camera.
