Obtaining thermal sensor (thermal camera, infrared thermal sensor, thermal imaging) and non-thermal sensor (LiDAR, RADAR, camera, ultrasonic sensors) data, determining a perception parameter indicative of an object in the surrounding environment of the autonomous vehicle AV, and generating a trajectory based on the perception parameter. Perception parameter may indicate the state of the object (presence or potential obstacles). A reaction parameter may indicate an emergency reaction based on the thermal sensor data. The object may be an agent (other vehicles, animals, road users, pedestrians, cyclists). Perception parameter may include a feature (light, doorknob, window frame, window). Object may be a driving surface. Thermal sensor data may be a thermal reflection of the object. Object trajectory may be predicted. Representation of thermal sensor data may be overlaid onto a 3D reconstruction of the object for estimating the location of the object and the object trajectory.
