Abstract: For driver assistance for a combination (8) with a motor vehicle (9) and a trailer (10), a first camera image (19) and a second camera image (20) are generated. A combined image (21) is generated by means of a computing unit (13) by superimposing the camera images (19, 20) such that the second camera image (20) covers a subsection of the first camera image (19), wherein a hitch angle (14) of the combination (8) is determined by means of the computing unit (13). State data of the combination (8) are determined by means of a sensor system (17) and it is determined whether the combination (8) moves forward or backward. The hitch angle (14) is determined based on the state data, if the combination (8) moves forward and based on a change of time-dependent image data, if the combination moves backward. A position of the subsection is determined depending on the hitch angle (14).

Abstract: According to a method for determining a trailer orientation, an image (13) depicting a component (14) of the trailer (12) is generated by means of a camera system (15). Predetermined first and second reference structures (16, 18) are identified based on the image (13). The trailer orientation is determined by means of a computing unit (17) depending on the reference structures (16, 18).
