Methods and systems for detecting objects near an autonomous vehicle (AV) are disclosed. An AV will capture an image. A trained network will process the image at a lower resolution and generate a first feature map that classifies object(s) within the image. The system will crop the image and use the network to process the cropped section at a higher resolution to generate a second feature map that classifies object(s) that appear within the cropped section. The system will crop the first feature map to match a corresponding region of the cropped section of the image. The system will fuse the cropped first and second feature maps to generate a third feature map. The system may output the object classifications in the third feature map to an AV system, such as a motion planning system that will use the object classifications to plan a trajectory for the AV.
