A trailer angle detection system and method of detecting a trailer of a vehicle including a wide-angle camera and a controller. The controller is configured to receive a signal from the wide-angle camera representative of an area behind the vehicle. The controller transforms the signal into a top-down image. The controller determines a first plurality of values. Each of the first plurality of values is indicative of an amount of symmetry in a region of the top-down image. The controller determines a second plurality of values. Each of the second plurality of values is indicative of how closely a shape in the top-down image matches a predetermined shape. Then, the controller determines an estimate of an articulation angle based on the first plurality of values and the second plurality of values. Then controller performs an automated vehicle maneuver based on the estimate of the articulation angle.
