Original Abstract Submitted

systems and methods for enhanced object detection for autonomous vehicles based on field of view. an example method includes obtaining an image from an image sensor of one or more image sensors positioned about a vehicle. a field of view for the image is determined, with the field of view being associated with a vanishing line. a crop portion corresponding to the field of view is generated from the image, with a remaining portion of the image being downsampled. information associated with detected objects depicted in the image is outputted based on a convolutional neural network, with detecting objects being based on performing a forward pass through the convolutional neural network of the crop portion and the remaining portion.
