TC PAMI History
• Founded in Fall 1965 as the IEEE CS Data
•
•
•
•
•
Acquisition and Transformation Committee -Pattern Recognition Subcommittee
First Workshop on Pattern Recognition, Puerto
Rico,1966
First Conference: Frontiers of Pattern
Recognition, 1971
In the 1970's: IEEE Conference on Pattern
Recognition and Image Processing (PRIP)
In the 1980's: IEEE Conference on Computer
Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR)
Since 1987: IEEE International Conference on
Computer Vision (ICCV)

TC PAMI
• CVPR: Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition,
– Held every year in North America, 1500 participants
– Main conference and 20 satellite workshops, 8 tutorials, demos, etc
– Passport registration, pioneered at CVPR 2001.
– Last edition around $800 K
• ICCV: International Conference on Computer Vision,
– Every two years, rotating among the continents of Asia, North America, and Europe,
1200 participants
– Main conference and 26 satellite workshops
– Last edition was about $1 M
• Highly selective and highly cited
• So far solely IEEE CS sponsored.
• Others: Face and Gesture, Winter Vision Meetings, PRIA, Computational
Photography (new)
• IEEE Biometrics Council,
– IEEE CS is one of members
– Many TC members in leadership role.
• Journal: IEEE Transactions on PAMI
– Not under TC but volunteers are the same group

TC PAMI
• Reaching the Members
•
•
– TC meetings at CVPR/ICCV open to all members.
– About 1000 attend
– Newsletters, Web (Liferay)
Email list is around 3000, active around 2000
– Mostly USA, Europe, China, Japan, Canada, ....
– Mostly academia
What do TC members perceive as the benefits?
– Get to vote on major issues. All meetings are open.
– Very flat TC structure.
– TC budget shared at meeting.

TC PAMI
• Recent Accomplishments / Highlights
– Largest CVPR (2010) so far. Planned for 1100 but 1900
showed up!
– Volunteers worked hard to make things happen.
• Plans
•
– Student travel grants
– Sponsor Transactions on PAMI AE meetings
– Vision annotated bibliography into taxonomy.
– Explore alternate financial sponsorship models.
Challenge: Value of IEEE CS to members not
proportional to administrative costs and quality of
product generated.
