1. A system comprising:
a data processor; and
a memory for storing a detection system, executable by the data processor, the detection system configured to:
receive lateral image data from a lateral-facing imaging device on a vehicle;
generate warped image data by warping the lateral image data based on linear edges or features of an object in the lateral image data such that the object in the warped image data becomes aligned with an orientation of the vehicle, wherein the warping includes aligning a bottom edge of the lateral image data with the linear edges or features of the object in the lateral image data, and wherein the bottom edge of the lateral image data is relative to the orientation of the vehicle; and
extract an extracted object from the object from the warped image data.
