I understand the inputs, but I don't understand what your ideal output from this problem is. Maybe a concrete example would help me. (If your company doesn't understand it either, then you don't have a computer science problem yet.)
To be honest, this sounds like a problem the ATR industry calls "data fusion". For instance, you've got a synthetic aperture radar and an infrared sensor looking at "the same thing"; how do you align the two data sets so as to establish linkages between corresponding parts? But I'm having a hard time seeing how some of the techniques we used would help you, because I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do. But maybe some googling around on "data fusion" might help. Maybe also "data alignment" or "manifold alignment".
