Techniques for image quality enhancement for autonomous vehicle remote operations are disclosed herein. An image processing system of an autonomous vehicle can obtain images captured by at least two different cameras and stitch the images together to create a combined image. The image processing system can apply region blurring to a portion of the combined image to create an enhanced combined image, e.g., to blur regions/objects determined to be less import (or unimportant) for the remote operations. The image processing system can encode pixel areas of the enhanced combined image using a corresponding quality setting for respective pixel areas to create encoded image files, e.g., based on complexity levels of the respective pixel areas. The image processing system can transmit the encoded image files to a remote operations system associated with the autonomous vehicle for remote operations support.
