*More information soon 10/03/2014*

OpenCV is launching a community-wide challenge to update and extend the OpenCV library. library, to accelerate CV innovation. An award pool of $50,000 will be provided to the best performing algorithms in for the following 10 CV application areas: building blocks:

* image segmentation,
* image registration,
* human pose estimation,
* SLAM,
* multi-view stereo matching,
* object recognition,
* face recognition,
* gesture recognition,
* action recognition, and
* text recognition.

We will soon provide code All participants must agree to read from existing data sets in each of these areas.

h2. Conditions:

The OpenCV Vision Challenge Committee will judge up to five best entries.

# You may submit a new algorithm developed by yourself
# You may submit an existing algorithm *whether or not developed by yourself* (as long as you re-implement it yourself or it already has a BSD or compatible license).
# You must submit your winning publicly release their code as an OpenCV pull request under a BSD or compatible license
## You acknowledge that your license. Winners must also prepare their code may be included, with citation, in for OpenCV inclusion.

Winners and prizes are at the sole discretion of the committee.
