The Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition is an annual conference on computer vision and pattern recognition.

Affiliations

The conference was first held in 1983 in Washington, DC, organized by Takeo Kanade and Dana H. Ballard.{{cn|date=October 2024}} From 1985 to 2010 it was sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society.{{cn|date=October 2024}} In 2011 it was also co-sponsored by University of Colorado Colorado Springs. Since 2012 it has been co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and the Computer Vision Foundation, which provides open access to the conference papers.{{Cite web |url=http://openaccess.thecvf.com/menu.py |title=Computer Vision Foundation open access}}

Scope

The conference considers a wide range of topics related to computer vision and pattern recognition—basically any topic that is extracting structures or answers from images or video or applying mathematical methods to data to extract or recognize patterns. Common topics include object recognition, image segmentation, motion estimation, 3D reconstruction, and deep learning.{{cite web |url=http://cvpr2020.thecvf.com/sites/default/files/CVPR2020_opening.pdf |title=Welcome to CVPR 2020! |date=2020 |website= cvpr2020.thecvf.com|access-date=2020-08-08}}

The conference generally has less than 30% acceptance rates for all papers and less than 5% for oral presentations.{{Cite web |url=https://github.com/lixin4ever/Conference-Acceptance-Rate |title=Conference-Acceptance-Rate |date=August 7, 2020 |via=GitHub}}{{cite web |url=http://cvpr2019.thecvf.com/files/CVPR%202019%20-%20Welcome%20Slides%20Final.pdf |title=Welcome|website=cvpr2019.thecvf.com |access-date=2020-08-08}}{{Cite web |url=https://syncedreview.com/2020/03/02/cvpr-2020-proceeding-as-planned-record-1470-papers-accepted/ |title=CVPR 2020 Proceeding as Planned; Record 1470 Papers Accepted|date=March 2, 2020|website=Synced}} It is managed by a rotating group of volunteers who are chosen in a public election at the Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence-Technical Community (PAMI-TC) meeting four years before the meeting.{{Cite web |url=https://tc.computer.org/tcpami/conference-history/ |title=Conference History |website=IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence |access-date=2020-07-24 |archive-date=2022-09-20 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220920171741/https://tc.computer.org/tcpami/conference-history/ |url-status=dead}} The conference uses a multi-tier double-blind peer review process.{{cn|date=October 2024}} The program chairs, who cannot submit papers, select area chairs who manage the reviewers for their subset of submissions.{{Cite web |url=http://tab.computer.org/pamitc/archive/cvpr2012/program-details/papers/submission/area-chair-guidelines.html |title=Area Chair Guidelines - CVPR 2012 |website=tab.computer.org}}

=Longuet-Higgins Prize=

The Longuet-Higgins Prize recognizes papers from ten years ago that have made a significant impact on computer vision research.

=PAMI Young Researcher Award=

The Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence Young Researcher Award is an award given by the Technical Committee on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence of the IEEE Computer Society to a researcher within 7 years of completing their Ph.D. for outstanding early career research contributions.{{Cite web |url=https://www.thecvf.com/?page_id=413#YRA |title=Computer Vision Awards – The Computer Vision Foundation |website=www.thecvf.com}}{{cite web |title=PAMI Young Research Award |work=IEEE Computer Society website | publisher=IEEE |url=http://www.computer.org/portal/web/tcpami/PAMI-Young-Researcher-Award | accessdate=22 January 2014}} Candidates are nominated by the computer vision community, with winners selected by a committee of senior researchers in the field. This award was originally instituted in 2012 by the journal Image and Vision Computing, also presented at the conference, and the journal continues to sponsor the award.{{cite journal |title=Inaugural image and vision computing outstanding young researcher award winner announced |journal=Image and Vision Computing |publisher=Elsevier |volume=30 |issue=9 |page=603 |year=2012 |issn=0262-8856 |doi=10.1016/j.imavis.2012.07.008 }}{{cite web |title=Awards |url=http://www.elsevier.com/physical-sciences/computer-science/awards#pami |accessdate=22 January 2014}}

=PAMI Thomas S. Huang Memorial Prize=

The Thomas Huang Memorial Prize was established at the 2020 conference and is awarded annually starting from 2021 to honor researchers who are recognized as examples in research, teaching/mentoring, and service to the computer vision community. {{Cite web |url=https://www.thecvf.com/?page_id=413#Huang |title=Computer Vision Awards: PAMI Thomas S.
