Abstract: This disclosure relates to a method executed by a processor for navigating a moving vehicle through an environment. The processor captures the environment with a first sensor mounted on the moving vehicle to create first sensor data with a second sensor mounted on the moving vehicle to create second sensor data. The processor then determines a first trajectory of the first sensor and a second trajectory of the second sensor. The processor then estimates the spatial relationship between the first sensor and the second sensor based on the first trajectory and the second trajectory and uses the estimated spatial relationship to combine the first sensor data and the second sensor data into a combined multi-sensor representation of the environment. Finally, the processor navigates the moving vehicle based on the combined multi-sensor representation of the environment.
