Submission

We invite paper submissions and featured works in three tracks:

  • Challenge solution papers: up to 8 pages to describe the challenge solution, including figures, tables, and references and acknowledgements. Submissions should use the ICCV template and be sent to the CVWC2019 CMT site before its deadline.
  • Featured existing works: published in recent 1~2 years at peer-reviewed conferences/journals or even concurrent at ICCV 2019 main conference, are welcoming to present in oral/poster format at our workshop, but will not be published within the workshop proceeding. These kinds of submissions still need send to our CMT site for possible selection.

Regular contributed papers must contain novel work. They will receive at least two reviews with a single-blind policy. Papers will be selected based on novelty, relevance to workshop topics, technical merit. Accepted papers will be indexed on CVF and presented as posters in the workshop. Novel papers are selected to give oral presentation at the workshop.

Challenge solution papers will contain the full description of the team solution for any track of the challenge. Papers will be selected based on novelty and performance in the challenge. Accepted papers will be indexed on CVF and presented as posters in the workshop. Winner solutions are invited to give oral presentation at the workshop.
