Message from the General and Program Chairs

Welcome to Santiago de Chile and to the 15th IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision (ICCV). The conference’s main program includes 525 peer-reviewed papers (30.3% of 1698 valid submissions), which were allocated a poster presentation as well as a video spotlight that will play during each poster session. All spotlights were edited into videos for each session, which were uploaded to YouTube. Of these papers, 56 (3.3% of valid submissions) were selected for oral presentation. The conference’s main program also includes a plenary lecture by Prof. Stephen Boyd accompanied by an invited paper, a doctoral consortium, 13 demos, 10 exhibitors, and various social functions. In addition to the main program, ICCV 2015 has a number of co-located events, including 10 tutorials and 27 workshops. ICCV 2015 also enjoyed a record amount of industrial sponsorship which supported best paper awards, the doctoral consortium, and travel support for early career researchers.
