Vision Challenge¶

OpenCV is launching a community-wide challenge to update and extend the OpenCV library. An award pool of $50,000 will be provided to the best performing algorithms in the following 11 CV application areas:

• image segmentation
• image registration
• human pose estimation
• SLAM
• multi-view stereo matching
• object recognition
• face recognition
• gesture recognition
• action recognition
• text recognition
• tracking

We prepared code to read from existing data sets in each of these areas:
http://docs.opencv.org/master/modules/datasets/doc/datasets.html

Conditions:¶

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

1. You may submit a new algorithm developed by yourself
2. 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).
3. You must submit your winning code as an OpenCV pull request under a BSD or compatible license
   1. You acknowledge that your code may be included, with citation, in OpenCV

You may explicitly enter code for any work you have submitted to CVPR 2015 or its workshops. We will not unveil it until after CVPR.

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