ICCV Helmholtz Prize
The Helmholtz Prize is an award given biyearly by the TCPAMI at the International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV) for fundamental contributions in Computer Vision. The award recognizes ICCV papers from ten years ago with significant impact on computer vision research. The award is named after the 19th century physician and physicist Hermann von Helmholtz.
Winners are decided by a committee appointed by the TCPAMI Awards Committee. Click here for the wikipedia article on this prize.
