The invention relates to a display system, 1, for generating a composite view of a region behind a vehicle, V, towing a trailer, T. A first camera, C1, mounted in a rear-facing orientation to the vehicle outputs first image data whilst a second camera, C2, mounted in a rear-facing orientation to the trailer outputs second image data. An image processor combines the first and second image data to generate a composite image. The composite image may be formed by overlaying a semi-transparent image of the first image onto the second image to create a ghost or phantom image of the trailer overlaid on top of the image of the road behind the trailer. The processor may identify and match common features present in the first and second images in order to correctly overlay the images and the images may be subject to image processing such as rotation, cropping, scaling, skew correction and/or translation. Also disclosed is a system in which a graphical representation of a trailer is overlaid onto an image showing the view behind the trailer to produce an augmented image for display. |
