Abstract

In this paper, we present the details of Women in Computer Vision Workshop - WiCV 2022, organized alongside the hybrid CVPR 2022 in New Orleans, Louisiana. It provides a voice to a minority (female) group in the computer vision community and focuses on increasing the visibility of these researchers, both in academia and industry. WiCV believes that such an event can play an important role in lowering the gender imbalance in the field of computer vision. WiCV is organized each year where it provides a) opportunity for collaboration between researchers from minority groups, b) mentorship to female junior researchers, c) financial support to presenters to overcome monetary burden and d) large and diverse choice of role models, who can serve as examples to younger researchers at the beginning of their careers. In this paper, we present a report on the workshop program, trends over the past years, a summary of statistics regarding presenters, attendees, and sponsorship for the WiCV 2022 workshop.
