1. A method comprising:

  • spatially aligning, by a computer system, measurement coordinate fields of sensors to an environmental coordinate field associated with a vehicle based, at least in part, on where the sensors are mounted in the vehicle;

    populating, by the computer system, an environmental model with raw measurement data captured by the sensors, wherein the environmental model stores the raw measurement data in the environmental coordinate field based on the spatial alignment of the measurement coordinate fields to the environmental coordinate field; and

    processing, by the computer system, the raw measurement data from a plurality of the sensors, which was populated in the environmental model, to identify a detection event corresponding to a spatially aligned grouping of the raw measurement data from the plurality of the sensors, wherein a control system for the vehicle is configured to control operation of the vehicle based, at least in part, on the detection event.
