Longuet-Higgins Prize

Longuet-Higgins Prize is an award given annually at CVPR, for 'fundamental contributions in Computer Vision'. The award recognizes CVPR papers from ten years ago with fundamental impact on computer vision research. The medal is named after theoretical chemist and cognitive scientist H. Christopher Longuet-Higgins.
