Abstract:
A system includes an object identification module, a tailgate position module, and a user interface device (UID) control module. The object identification module is configured to identify at least one of a bumper of a vehicle and a tailgate of the vehicle in an image captured by a camera mounted to the tailgate. The tailgate position module is configured to determine that the tailgate is closed when the bumper is identified in the image, and determine that the tailgate is open when at least one of: the tailgate is identified in the image; and the bumper is not identified in the image. The UID control module is configured to adjust operation of a user interface device based on whether the tailgate is open or closed.

Claim (Index 15):
A system comprising:\n a camera configured to be mounted to a tailgate of a vehicle and configured to capture an image of an area rearward of the vehicle; a camera actuator configured to:\n adjust the camera to a first position when the tailgate is closed, wherein a field of view of the camera includes a portion of a bumper of the vehicle when the camera is in the first position and the tailgate is closed; and \n adjust the camera to a second position when the tailgate is open, wherein the field of view of the camera includes a portion of the tailgate when the camera is in the second position and the tailgate is open; \n an object identification module configured to identify at least one of the bumper and the tailgate in the image captured by the camera; a tailgate position module configured to:\n determine that the tailgate is closed when the portion of the bumper is identified in the image captured by the camera; and \n determine that the tailgate is open when the portion of the tailgate is identified in the image captured by the camera; and \n a user interface device (UID) control module configured to at least one of:\n control the user interface device to display a perspective view image of a first area rearward of the vehicle, to display guidelines representing a travel path of the vehicle over the perspective view image, and to adjust the guidelines based on whether the tailgate is open or closed; and \n control the user interface device to alert a driver when the vehicle is approaching a first object located rearward of the vehicle and within a first distance of the vehicle, and to adjust the first distance based on whether the tailgate is open or closed.
