Determining the position of a trailer end of a trailer (5) extending from a towing unit (4) of a vehicle and being pivotable thereto, by processing camera images (6) captured successively in time by an image sensor of an image capturing device (2) of a camera-based system; and determining a plurality of feature points (8) in the images (6) based on a parameter. The feature point (8) corresponds to a pixel in the image (6). Selecting relevant feature points from the plurality (8) along a preferred direction defined by density and position of the points (8) as path elements (10) based on a positional displacement (dx, dy) between the points (8) in an image (6) and corresponding points (8) in another image (6); generating a path (11) describing the trailer (5) along the preferred direction; and determining a position on the path (11) at the trailer end.
