Abstract

A method for determining the articulation angle between the tractor unit and semi-trailer of an articulated vehicle using images is provided. At least one image capture device is mounted on a lateral side of the tractor unit. An image processing device receives an image taken by the image capture device, generates the corresponding 2D image, sets as a feature point a semi-trailer area that is on the same side as the image capture device, and generates data entries including different articulation angles referencing the feature point and the corresponding image coordinates of the feature point. When the vehicle turns in a direction corresponding to the lateral side, the image processing device recognizes, and obtains the horizontal coordinate of, the feature point in a current 2D image and derives the articulation angle from at least two of the data entries that include horizontal coordinates closest to the feature point's current one.
