Provided is a process, including obtaining, with a robot, raw pixel intensity values of a first image and raw pixel intensity values of a second image, wherein the first image and the second image are taken from different positions; determining, with one or more processors, an overlapping area of a field of view of the first image and of a field of view of the second image by comparing the raw pixel intensity values of the first image to the raw pixel intensity values of the second image; spatially, with one or more processors, aligning values based on sensor readings of the robot based on the overlapping area; and inferring, with one or more processors, features of a working environment of the robot based on the spatially aligned sensor readings.
