IEEE Computer Society PAMI Technical Committee

Welcome to the PAMI TC Home page. The IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence has about 2800 members who are interested in computer vision, image processing, speech processing, pattern recognition, and artificial intelligence. Our purpose is to foster communication and collaboration among practitioners in the field.

Conferences and Workshops

The PAMI TC regularly sponsors the following major conferences:

CVPR: Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition, held every year in North America, except in years when ICCV is in North America

ICCV: International Conference on Computer Vision, which is held approximately every two years, generally rotating among the continents of Asia, North America, and Europe

WACV: Workshop on Applications of Computer Vision, now yearly in the winter

WMVC: Workshop on Motion and Video Computing> generally colocated with WACV

History

The TC was started in Fall 1965 as the Pattern Recognition Subcommittee of the Data Acquisition and Transformation Committee of the Computer Society. The initial members were A. S. Hoagland (IBM), chair; Arthur Hamburgen (IBM), Laveen Kanal (Philco), Bruce H. McCormick (Illinois), Azriel Rosenfeld (Maryland), and Bernard Widrow (Stanford). The committee organized the first Pattern Recognition Workshop, which was held in Puerto Rico in October 1966; by May 1966 it had been upgraded from Subcommittee to Committee. The second workshop was held in Delft, The Netherlands in August 1968. The third one was referred to in the minutes as an International Conference; apparently it was the same as Satosi Watanabe's Frontiers of Pattern Recognition Conference, and was held in Hawaii in January 1971.
