1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a device and from a camera via a first data link between the device and the camera, a frame;
selecting, by the device, an area of focus for the frame;
generating, by the device from the frame, a downsampled frame and a cropped frame, wherein the cropped frame is based on the area of focus; and
providing, by the device to a computing system of an autonomous vehicle via a second data link between the device and the computing system, the downsampled frame and the cropped frame instead of the frame, wherein the second data link has a lower bandwidth than the first data link.
