Deep Neural Networks for Object Detection Christian Szegedy Alexander Toshev Dumitru Erhan Google, Inc. szegedy, toshev, dumitru@ Abstract Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have recently shown outstanding performance on image classification tasks [14]. In this paper we go one step further and address the problem of object detection using DNNs, that is not only classifying but also precisely localizing objects of various classes. We present a simple and yet pow- erful formulation of object detection as a regression problem to object bounding box masks. We define a multi-scale inference procedure which is able to pro- duce high-resolution object detections at a low cost by a few network applications. State-of-the-art performance of the approach is shown on Pascal VOC. 1 Introduction As we move towards more complete image understanding, having more precise and detailed object recognition becomes crucial. In this context, one cares not only about classifying images, but also about precisely estimating estimating the class and location of objects contained within the images, a problem known as object detection. The main advances in object detection were achieved thanks to improvements in object representa- tions and machine learning models. A prominent example of a state-of-the-art detection system is the Deformable Part-based Model (DPM) [9]. It builds on carefully designed representations and kinematically inspired part decompositions of objects, expressed as a graphical model. Using dis- criminative learning of graphical models allows for building high-precision part-based models for variety of object classes. Manually engineered representations in conjunction with shal
