    Abstract: Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for detecting objects in images. One of the methods includes receiving an input image. A full object mask is generated by providing the input image to a first deep neural network object detector that produces a full object mask for an object of a particular object type depicted in the input image. A partial object mask is generated by providing the input image to a second deep neural network object detector that produces a partial object mask for a portion of the object of the particular object type depicted in the input image. A bounding box is determined for the object in the image using the full object mask and the partial object mask.
