CVPR Longuet-Higgins Prize

The Longuet-Higgins Prize is an award given annually by the TCPAMI at the Conference on Computer  Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) for fundamental contributions in computer vision. The award recognizes CVPR papers from ten years ago with significant impact on computer vision research. The prize is named after theoretical chemist and cognitive scientist H. Christopher Longuet-Higgins.

Winners are decided by a committee appointed by the TCPAMI Awards Committee.
