A method for determining trailer angle includes determining angles of a trailer hitch relative to a data recording device via an angle measuring device while the trailer hitch pivots about a hitch ball of the device. While the trailer hitch pivots about the hitch ball of the device, trailer hitch information is determined responsive to processing of captured image data and responsive to determined angles of the trailer hitch. After determining trailer hitch information, data representative of the determined information is provided to an electronic device, which is disposed at a vehicle having a rear backup camera that has a field of view that encompasses a hitch ball of the vehicle and at least a portion of a hitch of a trailer hitched to the vehicle. Using the provided data, and responsive to processing of captured image data, an angle of the trailer relative to the vehicle is determined.

The present invention discloses a monitoring system and a method for realizing omnibearing blindspotless monitoring. The system comprises a video monitoring center and a plurality of cameras connected thereto. A custom monitoring level configuration module and a custom monitoring level response module are arranged on the video monitoring center. The custom monitoring level configuration module sets the monitoring level for different angles or positions. The number of the cameras for monitoring different angles or positions is configured according to the monitoring level. The custom monitoring level responses to the working state of the real-time monitoring camera and carries out a real-time response according to the real-time monitoring result. The method adopts the redundancy mechanism and adopts a plurality of cameras to monitor one angle of a monitored area. When some cameras do not work normally, the monitoring center can monitor the result in real time and carry out response, and enables a backup camera, automatically or through the intervention of a user, and thus the realization of the omnibearing blindspotless monitoring can be ensured and the integrity and the reliability of the monitoring information can be ensured.

The invention discloses a backup camera system for automatically switching tri-state view angles and a backup camera device of the backup camera system. The backup camera system comprises a controller local network, a backup camera device, a first camera, a second camera and a display device, wherein the backup camera device comprises a controller; the first camera comprises a first lens and a first sensor; the second camera comprises a second lens and a second sensor; the controller of the backup camera device is used for capturing vehicle information parameters of the controller local network, used for judging the state of a vehicle as one of multiple scenes, and used for automatically switching the cameras to be powered on or powered off according to scene judgment; the first sensor and the second sensor can be used for judging a first distance or a second distance, used for automatically switching the lenses to be tri-state view angles of wide angle view, normal view or overlook view according to values of the first distance and the second distance, and used for displaying the tri-state view angles of the lenses on the display device. By adopting the backup camera system, a driver can switch to obtain a most appropriate tri-state view angle image according to different distances when backing up or packing a vehicle, and current situations in front of and behind the vehicle can be judged.
