Claim 6:
7. A method comprising:
generating a depth flow image based at least in part on a first LiDAR range image generated using one or more LiDAR sensors at a first time and a second LiDAR range image generated using the one or more LiDAR sensors at a second time subsequent the first time, the depth flow image including one or more pixels labeled with one or more depth flow values;
passing data corresponding to at least one pixel of the one or more pixels of the depth flow image to generate an updated depth flow image, the data passed being at least partially indicative of respective depth flow values of the one or more pixels and respective costs of the one or more pixels; and
calculating, based at least in part on the updated depth flow image, one or more motion vectors representative of relative pixel positions between the first LiDAR range image and the second LiDAR range image.
