Google at ICCV 2019

This week, Seoul, South Korea hosts the International Conference on Computer Vision 2019 (ICCV 2019), one of the world's premier conferences on computer vision. As a leader in computer vision research and a Gold Sponsor, Google will have a strong presence at ICCV 2019 with over 200 Googlers in attendance, more than 40 research presentations, and involvement in the organization of a number of workshops and tutorials.

If you are attending ICCV this year, please stop by our booth. There you can chat with researchers who are actively pursuing the latest innovations in computer vision and demo some of their latest research, including the technology behind MediaPipe, the new Open Images dataset, new developments for Google Lens and much more.

This year Google researchers are recipients of three prestigious ICCV awards:

• Distinguished Researcher Award — Bill Freeman, Research Scientist, Google Research
• Helmholtz Prize (Test of Time Award) — ICCV 2009 paper, "Building Rome in a Day", by Sameer Agarwal, Noah Snavely, Ian Simon, Steve Seitz and Rick Szeliski
• Marr Prize (Best Paper Award) — ICCV 2019 paper, "SinGAN: Learning a Generative Model from a Single Natural Image", by Tamar Rott Shaham, Tali Dekel and Tomer Michaeli

More details about the Google research being presented at ICCV 2019 can be found below (Google affiliations in blue).
