1. A method comprising:
accessing, by one or more computers, image data that comprises an initial image, the initial image depicting a scene to be searched for a target object; and
processing, by the one or more computers, the scene to search for the target object by at least:
detecting, by processing the scene depicted in the initial image, one or more first anchor objects depicted in the scene that are each related to the target object; and
determining a set of regions of the scene by identifying, for each particular anchor object in the one or more first anchor objects, a region of the scene that is relative to the particular anchor object and has a first resolution; and
for a particular region in the set of regions, searching for the target object in the particular region at a second resolution, the second resolution being one of higher than or equal to the first resolution of the particular region at which the particular region was identified.
