Abstract
Systems and method are provided for controlling a vehicle. The vehicle includes a first device onboard the vehicle providing first data, a second device onboard the vehicle providing second data, one or more sensors onboard the vehicle, one or more actuators onboard the vehicle, and a controller. The controller detects a stationary condition based on output of the one or more sensors, obtains a first set of the first data from the first device during the stationary condition, filters horizontal edge regions from the first set resulting in a filtered set of the first data, obtains a second set of the second data during the stationary condition, determines one or more transformation parameter values based on a relationship between the second set and the filtered set, and autonomously operates the one or more actuators onboard the vehicle in a manner that is influenced by the transformation parameter values.
