All submissions will be handled electronically via the conference's CMT Website. All authors must agree to the policies stipulated below.
The submission deadline is Friday November 14th and will not be changed.
Supplementary material can be submitted until Friday November 21st.
Papers are limited to eight pages, including figures and tables, in the CVPR style. Additional pages
containing only cited references are allowed.
Please refer
to the following files for detailed formatting instructions:
A complete paper should be submitted using the above templates, which
are blind-submission review-formatted templates. The length should match
that intended for final publication.
Papers with more than 8 pages
(excluding references) will be rejected without review.
Note, unlike in previous CVPRs, there will be no page charges.
It is the primary author's responsibility to ensure that all
authors on their paper have registered their institutional conflicts
into CMT. For each author, please enter the domain of his/her current
institution (example: cs.jhu.edu; microsoft.com). Please enter ONLY ONE
institution, except when the author was in more than one institution in
the last 12 months (Nov 15, 2013 - Nov 14, 2014). DO NOT enter the domain
of email providers such as gmail.com. This institutional conflict
information will be used in conjunction with prior authorship conflict
information to resolve assignments to both reviewers and area chairs. If
a paper is found to have an undeclared or incorrect institutional
conflict, the paper may be summarily rejected.
By submitting a paper to CVPR, the authors agree to the review process
and understand that papers are processed by the Toronto system to match
each manuscript to the best possible chairs and reviewers.
CVPR reviewing is double blind, in that authors do not know the names of
the area chair/reviewers of their papers, and area chairs/reviewers do
not know the names of the authors. Please read Section 1.6 of the
example paper egpaper_for_review.pdf
for detailed instructions on how to preserve anonymity. Avoid providing
information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgments (e.g.,
co-workers and grant IDs) and in the supplemental material (e.g.,
titles in the movies, or attached papers). Avoid providing links to
websites that identify the authors. Violation of any of these guidelines
may lead to rejection without review.
If you need to cite a different paper of yours that is being submitted
concurrently to CVPR, the authors should (1) cite these papers
(preserving anonymity as described in Section 1.6 of the example paper egpaper_for_review.pdf),
(2) argue in the body of your paper why your CVPR paper is non
trivially different from these concurrent submissions, and (3) include
anonymized versions of those papers in the supplemental material.
Note that we will be actively checking for plagiarism.
By submitting a manuscript to CVPR, authors acknowledge that it has not
been previously published or accepted for publication in substantially
similar form in any peer-reviewed venue including journal, conference, workshop, or archival
forums.
Furthermore, no paper substantially similar in content has been or will
be submitted to another conference or workshop during the review period
(November 14, 2014 - March 2, 2015). The authors also attest that they
did not submit substantially similar submissions to CVPR 2015. Violation
of any of these conditions will lead to rejection.
The goals of the dual submission policy are (i) to have exciting new work be published for the first
time at CVPR, and (ii) to avoid duplicating the effort of reviewers.
Our policy is based upon the following particular definition of “publication”.
A publication, for the purposes of the dual submission policy, is defined to be
a written work that was submitted for review by peers for either acceptance
or rejection, and, after review, was accepted. In particular, this definition of
publication does not depend upon whether such an accepted written work appears
in a formal proceedings or whether the organizers declare that such work
“counts as a publication”.
Note that such a definition does not consider an arXiv.org paper as a publication
because it cannot be rejected. It also excludes university
technical reports which are typically not peer reviewed. However, this
definition of publication does include peer-reviewed workshop papers,
even if they do not appear in a proceedings, as long they are eligible
for rejection. Given this definition, any submission to CVPR should
not have substantial overlap with prior publications or other
concurrent submissions.
As a rule of
thumb, the CVPR submission should contain no more than 20 percent
of material from previous publications. Consider the
following examples of previous work with regard to the dual submission policy:
- A NIPS Deep Learning workshop paper with substantial overlap. This would
be a violation of the dual submission policy, since this workshop either accepts
or rejects papers based upon peer review. It is a violation despite the declaration
of workshop organizers that papers in this workshop do not count as publications.
- A short
ICLR
workshop paper on the same topic. If the paper is so short that
a CVPR submission would provide substantial additional novelty, details, and
background, such a submission could be allowable.
- An arXiv.org paper on the same topic. Because this paper is not peer-reviewed
for acceptance or rejection, it would not qualify as a prior publication for the
dual submission policy, and thus would not prevent the submission of a substantially
similar CVPR paper.
Authors are encouraged to contact the Program Chairs about clarifications on borderline
cases.
An extended version of a paper submitted to CVPR (with sufficiently new
material) can be submitted to a journal anytime after the CVPR's
submission deadline (even before a final decision on the paper is sent
to the authors). An author submitting an extended version of a CVPR
paper to a journal needs to ensure that the paper (a) satisfies all
submission requirements of the intended journal and (b) does not violate
any copyright with IEEE. Authors may also wish to notify the CVPR
program chairs of their journal submission.
Note that a Technical Report (departmental, arXiv.org, etc.) that is put up without any form of direct peer-review is NOT considered a publication and is therefore allowed, but should NOT be cited. Likewise, mention of the work under review in a presentation is NOT considered a violation. For further information, please refer to Section 8.2.4.F of the IEEE PSPB Operations Manual.
All accepted
papers will be made publicly available by the Computer Vision Foundation
(CVF) two weeks before the conference. Authors wishing to submit a patent
understand that the paper becomes of public domain after the final
(camera-ready) version is submitted. More information about CVF is
available at http://www.cv-foundation.org/
The authors agree that if the paper is accepted, at least one of the
authors will register for the conference and present the paper there.
Authors may optionally upload supplementary material, which may not fit in the PDF size limit and may include:
- videos to showcase results/demo of the proposed approach/system,
- images and other results in addition to the ones in the paper,
- anonymized related submissions to other conferences and journals, and
- appendices or technical reports containing extended proofs and
mathematical derivations that are not essential to the understanding of
the submitted paper.
CVPR encourages authors to submit videos using an MP4 codec such as DivX
contained in an AVI. Also, please submit a README text file with each
video specifying the exact codec used and a URL where the codec can be
downloaded.
The authors should refer to the contents of the supplementary material
appropriately in the paper. Note that reviewers will be encouraged to
look at it, but are not obligated to do so. Please note that:
- All supplementary material must be self-contained and zipped into a
single file. The following formats are allowed: avi, doc, docx, mp4,
pdf, wmv. CMT imposes a 100MB limit on the size of this file. Note that
you can update the file by uploading a new one (the old one will be
deleted and replaced).
- The paper for review (PDF only) must be submitted first before the supplementary material (PDF or ZIP only) can be submitted.
- Please make sure that the supplementary material directly supports
the paper as submitted prior to the paper deadline. ONLY results
generated by the algorithm/approach/system reported in the submitted
version are allowed. Material based on improvements subsequent to the
paper deadline is not allowed.
- Do not submit a newer version of the paper as supplementary material.
A newer version of the paper or portion thereof, with description of an
improved algorithm/approach/system or even one spelling or typo
correction, is not allowed.

If you have been invited to review for CVPR2015, an account has been
automatically generated for you using the contact email as your account
name (regardless of whether you agreed to review or not). You need to
only request for a new password via "Reset your password". If you have
agreed to review, please follow the reviewer login instructions.
If you have not been invited to review for CVPR2015, you are not in the
system. Please sign up as a new user. If you have generated an account
and have forgotten your password, just click on "Reset your password".
Instructions will be emailed to you.
When you log in for the first time, you will be asked to enter your
conflict domain information. You will not be able to submit any paper
without entering this information. We need to ensure conflict-free
reviewing of all papers.
At any time, you can edit your contact information (see item near the
top right in the submission site). Don't forget to click the "Update"
button to save the edited information. If you wish to change the contact
email address, you can modify it via the "Change your Email" box.
When you submit a paper, you will be asked to specify its associated
subject areas. Please note that you only need to indicate one "primary" subject
area.
For each author, please enter the domain of his/her current institution
(example: cs.jhu.edu; microsoft.com). Please enter ONLY ONE institution,
except when the author was in more than one institution in the last 12
months (Nov 15, 2013 - Nov 14, 2014). DO NOT enter the domain of email
providers such as gmail.com.
Once you have registered your paper (i.e. title/authors), you will be
assigned a paper number. Insert this into the latex or word template
before generating the pdf of your paper for submission. Papers submitted
without a number may not be reviewed.
- The maximum size of the abstract is 4000 characters.
- The paper must be PDF only (maximum 30MB).
- The supplementary material can be either PDF or ZIP only (maximum 100MB).
- If your submission has co-authors, please make sure that you enter
their email addresses that correspond exactly to their account names
(assuming they have created accounts). This will ensure that your
co-authors can see your submission when they log in. Co-authors must
also have their conflict domains entered.
- Can we please have an extension on the deadline?
NO. And any incomplete submission or a submission
not meeting required criteria will be deleted.
- Can we get my quota increased for the size of paper submission from 30 MB to something higher?
NO. We have set hard limits of 30MB (PDF
Only) for paper submission and 100MB (PDF or ZIP only) for supplementary
materials for submissions for review. As we are expecting many
submissions, and as each reviewer is expected to review (on average)
about 10 papers, we feel that larger file downloads (and uploads) will
tax the system and abilities of reviewers to get to the papers fast
enough. Authors should consider adding hi-res images as supplementary
material. See Supplementary Material.
- How do I delete Supplementary Material from the CMT site?
We have added a feature that allows authors to
remove supplementary files. After you log in, in the "Author" console,
you'll notice "Upload/Delete File" at the end of the supplementary file
name. Click on that, and in the page that appears, you can click on the
"Delete" button to remove the supplementary file. (Please note that you
will not be able to delete the supplementary file after the
supplementary file deadline.)
- Can we submit color images with our papers for review?
YES. Reviewers will get the exact pdf file of
the paper you submitted, so they can see the color images on the
screen. Do be warned though that many reviews still like to read printed
papers and not all have access to high-end color printers. Please make
sure to comment in the paper to request the reviewers to see the color
online copy.
- What is CVPR 2015 policy on DUAL SUBMISSIONS?
Please read the dual/double submission paragraph above.
- Does a Technical Report (departmental, arXiv,
etc.) with publication available online count as a prior publication, and
therefore is that work ineligible for review and publication at CVPR 2015?
Please read the dual/double submission paragraph above.
- Does a presentation at a departmental seminar during the review period violate the anonymity standard or other CVPR 2015 policy?
NO. Authors must properly anonymize
the written submission as per the guidelines. There is no requirement that
the material otherwise be kept confidential during the review process.
- Is the CVPR 2015 Review Process CONFIDENTIAL?
YES, CVPR 2015 Reviewing is considered
confidential. All reviewers are required to keep every manuscript they
review as confidential documents and not to share or distribute
materials for any reason except to facilitate the reviewing of the
submitted work.
- Are CVPR 2015 Reviews Double BLIND or Single BLIND?
CVPR reviewing is Double BLIND, in that
authors do not know the names of the area chair/reviewers of their
papers, and area chairs/reviewers do not know the names of the authors.
Please read Section 1.6 of the example paper egpaper_for_review.pdf
for detailed instructions on how to preserve anonymity. Avoid providing
information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgments (e.g.,
co-workers and grant IDs) and in the supplemental material (e.g.,
titles in the movies, or attached papers). Avoid providing links to
websites that identify the authors. Violation of any of these guidelines
will lead to rejection without review.
