Results of the Vote on the CVPR 2024 Motions

Three motions were discussed at the June TC meeting and then voted on by attendees of CVPR 2024: two related to reviewing and one related to the venue selection for ICCV 2029. Motion 1 requiring the justification of closed-source comparisons requested by reviewers passed. Future program chair teams will be advised to incorporate the recommendation of this motion into their review process. Motion 2 on a potential move to text-only rebuttals did not pass. Motion 3, which gauged the community’s willingness to keep Dubai as the venue for ICCV 2029 did pass. After considering this result, the ICCV / CVPR Steering Committee is moving forward with Dubai as the venue and the associated organizing team that was introduced at ICCV 2023. The vote tallies can be found below.

Your TC Chair, Walter Scheirer

Motion 1: Justification of Closed-Source Comparisons (Passed)

Proposed by Andrea Tagliasacchi (Simon Fraser University, University of Toronto), Torsten Sattler (Czech Technical University in Prague), Marcus Brubaker (York University), Dmytro Mishkin (Czech Technical University in Prague), Kosta Derpanis (York University), Marc Pollefeys (ETH Zurich), Yasutaka Furukawa (Simon Fraser University), Konrad Shindler (ETH Zurich), Andreas Geiger (University of Tubingen), Kwang Moo Yi (University of British Columbia), David Lindell (University of Toronto), Or Litany (Technion), Eric Brachmann (Niantic), David Fleet (University of Toronto), Siyu Tang (ETH Zurich)

The PAMI TC recommends to the ICCV / CVPR Steering Committee: Effective with the CVPR 2025 conference, whenever a comparison of published research without publicly available code / data / pretrained models is requested (i.e., requiring re-implementation), it should be appropriately justified if used as a basis for a paper decision. This is unless this is a somewhat minor change to an already implemented method for which the code / data is available or re-implementing a method based on details provided by a publication is common practice in a sub-field. In any case, comparisons should only be requested if the publication and / or code has been available sufficiently ahead of the submission deadline.

Results for motion 1: Yes: 1149 No: 111

Motion 2: Text-Only Rebuttals (Did Not Pass)

Proposed by Ramin Zabih (Cornell University)

The PAMI TC recommends to the ICCV / CVPR Steering Committee: All future editions of CVPR and ICCV should limit the rebuttal to text only, following best practices from SIGGRAPH, in order to better prevent reviewers from requesting additional experiments in the rebuttal.

Results for motion 2: No: 768 Yes: 479

Motion 3: The Location of ICCV 2029 (Passed)

Proposed by Gerard Medioni (Chair of the ICCV/CVPR Steering Committee)

The ICCV / CVPR Steering Committee made a preliminary decision to hold ICCV 2029 in Dubai, with ICCV 2031 to be held in Europe. Following the discussion held during the PAMI TC meeting, please vote whether or not to recommend that the Steering Committee move forward with the Dubai venue for ICCV 2029.

Results for motion 3: Yes: 751 No: 497

2024 Everingham Prize: Call for Nominations

This annual award is 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, and the selection is managed by the PAMI TC awards committee.

The winner will be announced at the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) 2024.

ABOUT THE AWARD

The Everingham Prize has been created 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 consists of a Gift to the Recipient of USD 3,000 which will be presented during the conference, along with a plaque. The winners will be listed on the PAMI TC web site and at https://www.thecvf.com/?page_id=413#Everingham.

Further information about the Everingham Prize may be found at: https://www.thecvf.com/?page_id=529 and https://tc.computer.org/tcpami/awards/pami-mark-everingham-prize/.

NOMINATING A CANDIDATE

A nomination for the award should include name(s) and contact detail(s) of the Candidate individual or team and nominator, a brief description of the contribution, and should address the following four selection criteria (quantitatively where possible):

The impact of the contribution - in terms of the degree of benefit to the community and the number of community members benefitting,
The time and effort that went into the contribution,
The degree to which the Candidate sought to understand and address the needs of the community - particularly those members whose needs have previously been overlooked,
The lasting nature of the contribution - the length of time over which the community has actively benefitted, or is expected to benefit looking ahead.

Note, previous nominations will also be considered for this year, so there is no need to renominate unless new information is available.

SUBMISSIONS

Nominations should be made by email to [email protected] by July 12th 2024.

Information Needed: Awards Given Prior to 2000

It has come to the attention of the PAMI-TC officers that comprehensive records for awards given out at major computer vision meetings (CVPR, ICCV, ECCV) is not available. In an effort to document our field’s history, we are asking the community to help us fill the gap in our knowledge. If you have information about awards given prior to the year 2000, please contact TC Chair Walter Scheirer ([email protected]). A record of awards can be found here: https://www.thecvf.com/?page_id=413 (to be mirrored on the PAMI TC website soon).

Any other information of historical interest to the TC would be welcomed as we revamp our website.
