Waymo is proud to host and participate in multiple sessions at the 49th Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR) next week. We will present some of our recent state-of-the-art work in autonomous driving research—one of the most complex and practical applications of computer vision.

Last year alone, Waymo-affiliated researchers published 14 papers—and this year’s number is set to be even higher! As we gear up for CVPR, we are also excited to launch a brand new Waymo Research Website, in addition to our Github and the Waymo Open Dataset sites, as a destination to make our state-of-the-art breakthroughs more easily discoverable for other researchers.

We strive to push the boundaries of cutting-edge research, as we pursue our mission to make it safe and easy for people and things to get where they’re going. As we tackle some of the hardest problems in machine learning and see the potential our discoveries and inventions have for real world applications, we are excited to share insights with the research community.

Waymo at CVPR 2022

If you are participating in CVPR this year, either in person or virtually, please join us for the following sessions and stop by the Waymo booth to meet our team.

Waymo Open Dataset 2022

The Waymo Open Dataset is one of the ongoing contributions to the research community we are most proud of at Waymo. This year’s Challenges have been a great success with record-high participation with over 1,700 valid submissions, including entries from more than 20 universities worldwide. Our team was delighted to see the variety of creative approaches the research community contributed to this year’s perception and prediction challenges, and the high quality of the submissions. Many of the submissions are pushing the state-of-the-art in the respective research fields.

At this year’s Workshop on Autonomous Driving, you can view presentations from the selected teams and hear what we have in store for the next iteration of the Waymo Open Dataset. For a sneak peak, at this session we will:
