NAVER Labs Europe, the Grenoble, France-based AI and robotics research arm of South Korea's internet giant NAVER, will bring ten peer-reviewed papers to the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV 2026), scheduled for September 8–12 in Malmö, Sweden. The papers span 3D scene reconstruction and generation, robot navigation, egocentric video understanding, model distillation and merging, 3D human understanding, and privacy-preserving visual localization. A navigation paper by Steeven Janny, Leonid Antsfeld, and Christian Wolf demonstrates that extracting a single scalar value per image patch from a frozen, pre-trained Vision Transformer is sufficient to navigate a physical robot through real-world environments at speed; the model is never retrained, with only a minimal downstream layer learning. ECCV is the 19th edition of the premier biennial European computer vision conference, run by the European Computer Vision Association. ECCV 2026 statistics show the conference received approximately 10,473 submissions, with roughly 2,883 papers accepted at an estimated 27.5% acceptance rate. Building on the roughly 6,700 attendees from 64 countries who attended ECCV 2024 in Milan, the 2026 Malmö edition is expected to draw comparable international participation. NAVER Labs Europe traces its lineage to Xerox Research Centre Europe (XRCE), which NAVER acquired in 2017 and rebranded as its European AI and robotics research
