Global Total Number of 10% Top-Cited Scientific Publications in Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Share by Country (Units (Publications))

In 2023, China led the global landscape in top-cited scientific publications in computer vision and pattern recognition, commanding 39.43% of such publications, marking a significant increase of 21.75% from the previous year. The United States followed with 21.99% but experienced a slight decline of 0.42%. South Korea showed a remarkable growth of 26.52%, positioning itself as a rising player, while Australia and Singapore also showed notable increments, at 12.34% and 7.45% respectively. Meanwhile, Japan, Spain, and Ireland faced setbacks, recording decreases in their shares over the year.

Looking ahead, the increase in China's share is expected to persist as it bolsters its research output. Emerging contributors like South Korea and the United Arab Emirates are anticipated to continue their upward trends, suggesting a diversifying landscape in scientific research influence. Monitoring shifts in technological investments, international collaborations, and institutional support across countries will be critical to understanding future paradigms in global research dominance.
