In an embodiment, a computer-implemented method combines data from a lidar sensor and camera. A point cloud collected from the lidar sensor is received. The lidar sensor is mounted on a vehicle. A plurality of lines of points from the point cloud are identified such that each of the identified plurality of lines of points is at a substantially different angle from a plane of a road the vehicle is driving on. An image captured from the camera is received. The camera is mounted on the vehicle, the image having been captured substantially simultaneously with the point cloud. Using an image analysis algorithm, a plurality of objects in the image are identified. Respective objects from the plurality of objects are correlated with the identified plurality of lines of points.
