1. A method for estimating motion with at least one laser radar, the method comprising: scanning a first range image at a first time; identifying a plurality of object features in the first range image; scanning a second range image at a second time; receiving motion data from a host vehicle having the at least one laser radar for a time period between the first and second times; identifying the plurality of object features in the second range image based, at least in part, on the motion data of the host vehicle to determine an orientation of least one object; and based on the orientation of the at least one object with respect to a change in position of the host vehicle, estimating motion of the host vehicle by comparing the location of the plurality of object features in the first scanned range image to the location of the plurality of object features in the second scanned range image.
