Accepted Answer

The largest centres of Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition research in 2022-now are Beijing (China), Shanghai (China), Xi'an (China) and Nanjing (China). Among places with at least 20 works in it, it is an unusually large share of all research in Chertsey, Cerdanyola del Vallès and Marina del Rey.

Question 5

Where is the best place to study Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition?

Accepted Answer

Among universities, judged by research, Nanyang Technological University, Tsinghua University and ETH Zurich score highest, combining standing in the field's ranking, excellence, specialisation, size, growth and international reach. Research strength is one signal when choosing where to study; it does not measure teaching.
