ICCV, the International Conference on Computer Vision, is a bi-annual research conference organised by the IEEE. It is considered the top level conference in computer vision, with a 'A+' rating from the Australian Ranking of ICT Conferences. The acceptance rate for ICCV has been around 20%, with about 4% being accepted for oral presentations.

Like many IEEE conferences, ICCV has tutorial talks, technical sessions, and poster sessions. The conference is usually spread over four to five days.
