Google at CVPR 2019

Andrew Helton, Editor, Google AI Communications

This week, Long Beach, CA hosts the 2019 Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR 2019), the premier annual computer vision event comprising the main conference and several co-located workshops and tutorials. As a leader in computer vision research and a Platinum Sponsor, Google will have a strong presence at CVPR 2019—over 250 Googlers will be in attendance to present papers and invited talks at the conference, and to organize and participate in multiple workshops.

If you are attending CVPR this year, please stop by our booth and chat with our researchers who are actively pursuing the next generation of intelligent systems that utilize the latest machine learning techniques applied to various areas of machine perception. Our researchers will also be available to talk about and demo several recent efforts, including the technology behind predicting pedestrian motion, the Open Images V5 dataset and much more.

You can learn more about our research being presented at CVPR 2019 in the list below (Google affiliations highlighted in blue)
