PAMI Young Researcher Award

The Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) Young Researcher Award is an award given by the Technical Committee on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TCPAMI) of the IEEE Computer Society to a researcher within 7 years of completing their Ph.D. for outstanding early career research contributions. 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 CVPR, and the IVC continues to sponsor the award.

PAMI Thomas S. Huang Memorial Prize

The Thomas S. Huang Memorial Award was established at CVPR 2020 and will be awarded annually starting from CVPR 2021 to honor researchers who are recognized as examples in research, teaching/mentoring and service to the computer vision community. The award is given in memory of the late Prof. Thomas S. Huang, a pioneering scholar who left deep impressions in multiple fields including computer vision and image processing, and a role model who contributed to the growth and well-being of several generations of researchers in the community.

PAMI Mark Everingham Prize

This Prize is to commemorate Mark Everingham and to encourage others to follow in his footsteps by acting to further progress in the computer vision community as a whole. An appreciation of Mark Everingham’s contributions is at http://bit.ly/markever. The prize shall be given to a researcher, or a team of researchers, who have made a selfless contribution of significant benefit to other members of the computer vision community. The award is given out by the IEEE Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) Technical Committee. Candidates are nominated by the community in a window preceding ECCV or ICCV determined by the TCPAMI chair. Winners are decided by a committee appointed by the TCPAMI Awards Committee. The Prize is awarded annually at a major computer vision conference. In even numbered years it is awarded at the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV), and in odd numbered years it is awarded at the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV).

PAMI Azriel Rosenfeld Lifetime Achievement Award

The Azriel Rosenfeld Award, or Azriel Rosenfeld Lifetime Achievement Award was established at ICCV 2007 in Rio de Janeiro to honor outstanding researchers who are recognized as making significant contributions to the field of Computer Vision over longtime careers. This award is in memory of the late computer scientist and mathematician Prof. Azriel Rosenfeld. Candidates are nominated by the community in a window preceding ICCV determined by the TCPAMI chair. Winners are decided by a committee appointed by the TCPAMI Awards Committee.

Helmholtz Prize

The ICCV Helmholtz Prize, known as the Test of Time Award before 2013, is awarded every other year at the ICCV, recognizing ICCV papers from ten or more years earlier that had a significant impact on computer vision research. Winners are selected by the IEEE Computer Society’s Technical Committee on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. The award is named after the 19th century physician and physicist Hermann von Helmholtz, and the ICCV’s award is not related to the various Helmholtz Prizes in physics, or the Hermann von Helmholtz Prize in neuroscience.
