A method and system identifies an unobservable region using a surround view system of a vehicle. The vehicle has a trailer attached thereto. The surround view system includes cameras to provide a view of an area surrounding the vehicle, an ECU receives image data from the cameras, and a display. A legacy observable image of the area obtained from the cameras as the vehicle passes through the area is stored in the ECU. A model representing a geometry of the trailer is created. Live images of the area, while the vehicle is reversing the trailer in the area, are obtained by the cameras. The trailer defines an obstruction in the area that occludes camera views defining an unobservable region. Based on the legacy observable image, the geometry of the trailer, and the live images, the unobservable region in the area is calculated and displayed on the display.
