An imaging sensor is configured to sense an environment through which a vehicle is moving. A method for controlling the imaging sensor includes receiving sensor data generated by the imaging sensor of the vehicle as the vehicle moves through the environment, determining (i) a lower bound for a vertical region of interest (VROI) within a vertical field of regard of the imaging sensor, the VROI comprising a virtual horizon, using a first subset of the sensor data, and (ii) an upper bound for the VROI within the vertical field of regard of the imaging sensor, using at least a second subset of the sensor data, where the first subset is smaller than the second subset. The method also includes causing the imaging sensor to be adjusted in accordance with the determined lower bound of the VROI and the determined upper bound of the VROI.
