Object detection using neural network systems

Systems, methods, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium. In one aspect, a system includes initial neural network layers configured to: receive an input image, and process the input image to generate a plurality of first feature maps that characterize the input image; a location generating convolutional neural network layer configured to perform a convolution on the representation of the first plurality of feature maps to generate data defining a respective location of each of a predetermined number of bounding boxes in the input image, wherein each bounding box identifies a respective first region of the input image; and a confidence score generating convolutional neural network layer configured to perform a convolution on the representation of the first plurality of feature maps to generate a confidence score for each of the predetermined number of bounding boxes in the input image.
