Awards

Several prizes will be awarded at CVPR 2007. There will be one or more best paper awards, whose nominees will be invited to submit their papers to a special issue of the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence. There will also be a best student paper award, sponsored by the International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV). The best student paper award will be given to a paper whose first author, at the time of submission, had not received a PhD or equivalent degree, and who was enrolled as a full-time student at some point in 2006. The Longuet-Higgins prize for "a contribution which has stood the test of time" will reward retrospectively the best paper(s) of CVPR 1997. In addition, there will be awards for highly commended reviewers.
