 Summary
The authors present a technique for real-time object class
detection with a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). In
contrast to state-of-the-art systems such as R-CNN, the
proposed technique does not rely on region proposals and
instead detects objects with a single pass through the CNN. The
main contribution is the idea of dividing the image into a 7x7
grid, and having each cell predict a distribution over class
labels as well as a bounding-box for the object whose center
falls into it. As a result, the method is much faster than R-CNN,
as the remaining bottleneck of extracting region proposals has
been removed.

 Abstract
We present YOLO, a new approach to object detection.
Prior work on object detection repurposes classifiers to perform
detection. Instead, we frame object detection as a regression
problem to spatially separated bounding boxes and
associated class probabilities. A single neural network predicts
bounding boxes and class probabilities directly from
full images in one evaluation. Since the whole detection
pipeline is a single network, it can be optimized end-to-end
directly on detection performance. Finally, YOLO learns very
general representations of objects. It outperforms other detection
methods, including DPM and R-CNN, when generalizing
from natural images to other domains like artwork.
