1. A method for automatically panning a view for a commercial vehicle comprising:
analyzing a portion of a first view at a first time to determine a position of a vehicle feature within the first view, wherein the first view is a subset of a second view;
estimating an expected position of the vehicle feature in the first view at a second time subsequent to the first time, wherein the expected position is determined using a kinematic model of vehicle reversing combined with sensor data;
defining a region of interest centered on the expected position of the vehicle feature in the second view and analyzing the region of interest to determine an exact position of the vehicle feature at the second time; and
determining a current trailer angle based on a position of the vehicle feature within the second view.
