CVPR 2025

June 11–15, 2025 | Music City Center in Nashville, Tennessee

Kitware is proud to participate in the 2025 IEEE/CVF Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), one of the premier conferences for cutting-edge research in computer vision and machine learning. This year, Kitware’s leadership in the community is reflected through key service roles that help shape the conference itself.

• Anthony Hoogs, Ph.D., Christopher Funk, Ph.D., Scott McCloskey, Ph.D., and Brian Clipp, Ph.D. are each serving as Area Chairs, managing the peer review process for some of the most advanced work in the field. In addition, Dr. Hoogs was a Senior Area Chair this year.
• Brian Clipp, Ph.D. is also serving as a Workshop Chair, curating sessions that drive deeper exploration of emerging topics and technologies.
• Christopher Funk, Ph.D. is serving as a Broadening Participation Chair, supporting efforts to foster a more inclusive and accessible research community.

We’re also contributing original research and sharing practical tools that support real-world AI development. As always, our commitment to open science and collaborative innovation will be on full display at our booth (visit us at Booth 1617!) and in our technical sessions.

Kitware’s Technical Contributions

EBS-EKF: Accurate and High-Frequency Event-Based Star Tracking

Main Conference Paper Presentation | June 13, Poster Session 2 (16:00 – 18:00, ExHall D)
Authors: Albert Reed, Connor Hashemi, Dennis Melamed, Nitesh Menon, Keigo Hirakawa, Scott McCloskey

This paper introduces a novel approach to event-based star tracking, combining the high temporal resolution of event cameras with an extended Kalman filter to produce accurate and low-latency attitude estimation. The method addresses key challenges in real-time tracking and mapping for robotics and embedded systems operating in high-speed or low-light environments.

During the Event-based Vision Workshop, Scott and Dennis will give a preview presentation of the EBS-EKF poster during the workshop’s “Courtesy Papers” session.

Centroiding Point-Objects with Event Cameras

Invited Workshop Presentation | June 12, All Day Workshop
Presenter: Scott McCloskey

In addition to the preview of our EBS-EKF poster, Scott will present Kitware’s recent centroiding work during the Event-based Vision Workshop. Finding and predicting the location of dim, unresolved (i.e., very small) objects is an important part of several applications of event-based imaging, and is one to which event sensing is well-suited. This presentation will discuss the collection of a dataset of event streams capturing unresolved moving objects, and our LSTM-based AI/ML solution to accurately centroid and predict their location.

Explore Our Tools for Vision at Scale

Stop by Booth 1617 for live demos of open source platforms powering today’s AI pipelines:

• TeleSculptor – A structure-from-motion platform for geospatial reconstruction.
• VIAME – Object detection, tracking, and annotation toolkit for imagery and video.
• XAITK – A modular framework for building explainable AI workflows in computer vision.

We’ll showcase how these platforms support explainability, domain adaptation, and operational efficiency for mission-critical applications.
