Computer vision encompasses a range of tasks such as object detection,semantic segmentation, and 3D reconstruction. Despite its relevance to Africancommunities, research in this field within Africa represents only 0.06% oftop-tier publications over the past decade. This study undertakes a thoroughanalysis of 63,000 Scopus-indexed computer vision publications from Africa,spanning from 2012 to 2022. The aim is to provide a survey of African computervision topics, datasets and researchers. A key aspect of our study is theidentification and categorization of African Computer Vision datasets usinglarge language models that automatically parse abstracts of these publications.We also provide a compilation of unofficial African Computer Vision datasetsdistributed through challenges or data hosting platforms, and provide a fulltaxonomy of dataset categories. Our survey also pinpoints computer visiontopics trends specific to different African regions, indicating their uniquefocus areas. Additionally, we carried out an extensive survey to capture theviews of African researchers on the current state of computer vision researchin the continent and the structural barriers they believe need urgentattention. In conclusion, this study catalogs and categorizes Computer Visiondatasets and topics contributed or initiated by African institutions andidentifies barriers to publishing in top-tier Computer Vision venues. Thissurvey underscores the importance of encouraging African researchers andinstitutions in advancing computer vision research in the continent. It alsostresses on the need for research topics to be more aligned with the needs ofAfrican communities.
