The annual Longuet-Higgins prize is presented by the IEEE Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (PAMI) Technical Committee at each year’s 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.
Beginning this year, the Awards Committee is accepting nominations for papers to be considered for the Longuet-Higgins prize. With the continued growth of our research community, including the number of papers appearing at CVPR each year, the committee feels that opening up the process for nominations will improve the selection process and reduce the chances of missing a worthy paper. Please note that a paper does NOT need an external nomination to be considered for the award. The selection committee will still conduct its usual process, with nominated papers added to the pool under consideration. Nominations are particularly encouraged for papers where the original version first appeared at CVPR but a better-known and more commonly cited version was subsequently published in journal form, making the full impact of the CVPR paper less obvious.
Nominations should include the title of the paper with a brief explanation of any non-obvious impact. Nominations should be submitted by the deadline set by the PAMI TC Chair each year to pami.awards@gmail.com.
