Techniques for segmenting sensor data are discussed herein. Data can be represented in individual levels in a multi-resolution voxel space. A first level can correspond to a first region of an environment and a second level can correspond to a second region of an environment that is a subset of the first region. In some examples, the levels can comprise a same number of voxels, such that the first level covers a large, low-resolution region, while the second level covers a smaller, higher-resolution region, though more levels are contemplated. Operations may include analyzing sensor data represented in the voxel space from a perspective, such as a top-down perspective. From this perspective, techniques may generate masks that represent objects in the voxel space. Additionally, techniques may generate segmentation data to verify and/or generate the masks, or otherwise cluster the sensor data.
