1. A method, comprising:
generating, using a light detection and ranging (lidar) sensor of a vehicle, a unit of sensing data comprising a direction and a distance to a reflective feature in an external scene;
capturing, using a camera sensor, a plurality of laterally offset images of the external scene, wherein a first image of the plurality of laterally offset images of the external scene is captured at a first time;
mapping, based at least on a scanning frequency associated with capturing the plurality of laterally offset images using the camera sensor, a first region of the first image to the unit of sensing data, wherein the first region depicts the reflective feature;
obtaining an augmented unit of sensing data, wherein obtaining the augmented unit of sensing data comprises:
fusing the unit of sensing data with the first region of the first image; and
delivering the augmented unit of sensing data to a navigation and pathing system of the vehicle.
