The Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition is an annual conference on computer vision and pattern recognition. As ranked by Google Scholar's h-index metric in 2015, CVPR is the number one venue in Computer Vision and number seven in Engineering and Computer Science. It also has the highest h-index of any conference in any field, is the leading IEEE publications including journals, and it is ranked in the top 70 of all publications. According to Microsoft Academic Search by 2014 there were over 169,936 citations to CVPR papers. It is also highly ranked by various government agencies: It has an 'A' rating from the Australian Ranking of ICT Conferences and an 'A1' rating from the Brazilian ministry of education(Qualis (2012)).
CVPR was first held in Washington DC in 1983 by Takeo Kanade and Dana Ballard (previously the conference was named Pattern Recognition and Image Processing). From 1985-2010 it was sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society. In 2011 it was co-sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society and by University of Colorado Colorado Springs. Since 2012 it has been co-sponsored by IEEE Computer Society and the Computer Vision Foundation(CVF). CVF now provides open access to the conference papers.
CVPR 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. Each year the conference has an explicit list of topics for that year. The conference event also includes a wide range of workshops and tutorials. Each year multiple company also donate funds to support the conference and many of those also exhibit at the conference.
The conference is highly selective with generally < 30% acceptance rates for all papers and < 5% for oral presentations. The conference is managed by a rotating group of volunteers—with are chosen in a public election at the PAMI-TC meeting 3 years before the meeting. CVPR uses a multi-tier double-blind review process. The program chairs (who cannot submit papers), select 50-60 area chairs who manage the reviewers for their subset of reviewers. There are generally 3 or more reviewers per paper. The Area chairs discuss the paper with the reviewers then among the Acs and finally produce a meta-review and make a recommendation the program chairs who make final decisions.
