Submission Guidelines

All submissions will be handled electronically via CMT. The Microsoft CMT service was used for managing the peer-reviewing process for this conference. This service was provided for free by Microsoft and they bore all expenses, including costs for Azure cloud services as well as for software development and support.

By submitting a paper, the authors agree to the policies stipulated on this website. WACV follows a two-round submission process. Please check the conference web pages for the most up-to-date deadlines.

  • Page Limit: Papers are limited to eight pages, including figures and tables, in the WACV style. Additional pages containing only cited references are allowed.
  • Templates: Please refer to the WACV Author Kit (Overleaf template, ZIP Archive).
  • Rejection Policy: Papers that are not properly anonymized, do not use the template, or exceed eight pages (excluding references) will be rejected without review.

Creating a Paper Submission

  • Click the “+ Create new submission” button in the upper-left to create a new submission. You will be prompted to enter the title, abstract, authors, and subject areas.
  • Ensure the following with your co-authors:
    1. Add them with their correct CMT3 email.
    2. Verify that they have logged in to the submission website and filled out the conflict information on CMT3.
      • If you add an author whose email is not in CMT3, and their name/organization is not automatically filled, confirm they do not already have an account under a different email before completing the required information.
  • Paper Number: Once your paper is registered (title/authors), you will be assigned a paper number. Insert this into the template before generating the PDF for submission. Papers submitted without a number may not be reviewed.

Code Submission and Reproducibility

To improve reproducibility in AI research, we highly encourage authors to voluntarily submit their code as part of the supplementary material.

  • Use the Reproducibility Checklist as a guide for writing reproducible papers.

  • Reviewers are encouraged to check submitted code to ensure the trustworthiness and reproducibility of the paper’s results.

  • The code must be anonymized (e.g., remove author names and institutions, including in license/copyright statements).
  • Include clear instructions for setting up the environment and running the code.
  • The code should cover the main results and as many minor experiments as possible.
  • All submitted code and data will be reviewed confidentially and kept private.
