ICCV Papers

ICCV (International Conference on Computer Vision) is one of the most prestigious conferences in computer vision, held biennially since 1987. Along with CVPR and ECCV, it forms the top-tier venues for computer vision research. ICCV papers have contributed groundbreaking work in areas such as object detection, image segmentation, 3D reconstruction, and video understanding.

ICCV Papers is a comprehensive dataset containing all papers from ICCV 2013 to present, including metadata and PDF download links. It is designed for literature review, trend analysis, citation network construction, and various research tasks in computer vision.

Pipeline

The dataset is constructed through a systematic multi-stage pipeline:

1. Web Scraping: Extract paper listings from CVF Open Access repository
2. Metadata Extraction: Parse HTML to extract titles, authors, PDF links, and BibTeX citations
3. Abstract Retrieval: Fetch abstracts from individual paper detail pages
4. URL Generation: Generate direct download URLs for PDFs
5. Data Validation: Verify data integrity and format consistency

Quick Start

Installation

pip install huggingface_hub requests

Load Metadata

from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
import json

# Download metadata for a specific year
year = "2013"
meta_path = hf_hub_download(
    repo_id="choucsan/ICCV_Papers",
    filename=f"{year}/meta.jsonl",
    repo_type="dataset",
)

# Load metadata
papers = []
with open(meta_path, 'r', encoding='utf-8') as f:
    for line in f:
        papers.append(json.loads(line))

print(f"Loaded {len(papers)} ICCV {year} papers")

Download PDF Files

Each paper has a download_url field pointing to the original PDF on CVF Open Access:

import requests
import os

# Create output directory
os.makedirs(f"iccv_{year}_pdfs", exist_ok=True)

# Download a specific paper
paper = papers[0]
response = requests.get(paper['download_url'])

filename = os.path.basename(paper['pdf_path'])
with open(f"iccv_{year}_pdfs/{filename}", 'wb') as f:
    f.write(response.content)

print(f"Downloaded: {filename}")

# Download all papers for a year (optional)
for paper in papers:
    if paper.get('download_url'):
        response = requests.get(paper['download_url'])
        filename = os.path.basename(paper['pdf_path'])
        with open(f"iccv_{year}_pdfs/{filename}", 'wb') as f:
            f.write(response.content)
