Abstract
A method may include determining an alignment time based on a zero-crossing point corresponding to a LiDAR sensor and a horizontal field of view corresponding to an image-capturing sensor. The method may include determining a delay timing for initiating image capturing by the image-capturing sensor in which the delay timing is based on at least one of: the alignment time, a packet capture timing corresponding to the LiDAR sensor, and an average frame exposure duration corresponding to the image-capturing sensor. The method may include initiating data capture by the LiDAR sensor, and after the initiating of data capture by the LiDAR sensor and after the delay timing has elapsed, initiating data capture by the image-capturing sensor.
