A system provides to a vehicle approaching an intersection information about objects of interest that are in a vicinity of the intersection. The system includes a remote server system that receives, from each node of a network of nodes at various intersections, augmented perception data (APD) representing a set of objects of interest that are proximate the intersection the node is located. The APD is extracted from images captured by a node vision system. The remote server system receives a query from the vehicle for APD associated with an imminent path of a planned route of the vehicle. The remote server system searches for resultant APD associated with the path and communicates the resultant APD to the vehicle. The objects of interest associated with an imminent intersection and objects of interest captured by the vehicle are fused together to control navigation of the vehicle through the imminent intersection.
