Multi-sensor assembly with improved backward view of a vehicle

A method comprising:

• capturing data using a sensor assembly, wherein the sensor assembly comprises an assembly housing defining an exterior surface and containing a plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors including at least a first sensor and a second sensor, wherein each sensor of the plurality of sensors has a respective imaging direction that extends from within the assembly housing, through the exterior surface, to outside the assembly housing, and wherein the sensor assembly containing the plurality of sensors is disposed at a portion of a vehicle such that (i) the imaging direction of the first sensor intersects the exterior surface of the assembly housing at a first point that is outboard from the vehicle and the imaging direction of the second sensor intersects the exterior surface of the assembly housing at a second point that is more outboard from the vehicle than the first point, and (ii) the second sensor's imaging direction is closer in yaw than the first sensor's imaging direction to being parallel to a backward direction of the vehicle;
• and
• transmitting the captured data to an image processing system, wherein the image processing system is configured to process the captured data.
