CVF

The Computer Vision Foundation (CVF) is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the field of computer vision. It primarily operates by fostering and supporting research across all facets of computer vision, notably by backing major scientific gatherings such as the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) conference and the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV). Through these activities, CVF facilitates the exchange of ideas and the dissemination of new findings, which are critical for technological progression in the sector.

The foundation was established in 2011, arising from a collective recognition within the computer vision community for a dedicated entity to provide structured support and a stable platform for academic and industrial research efforts. Its formation addressed the growing need for organized stewardship in a rapidly evolving scientific domain, aiming to ensure the long-term health and vibrancy of computer vision research. This institutionalization provided a crucial backbone for sustaining key community events and initiatives.

CVF serves a global community of researchers, academics, and practitioners engaged in computer vision. Its enduring mission is to propel the boundaries of visual intelligence and machine perception, encouraging collaborative innovation and the widespread sharing of knowledge. The foundation envisions a future where foundational research continues to drive significant breakthroughs, ultimately enhancing various applications and contributing to broader technological advancements.
