  • The reviewing process is single-blind.

  • Authors of all accepted papers will be invited to present their work in a poster session, and a few in an oral session.

  • The presenter need not be the first author of a submission.

  • While all presenters will identify primarily as female, all genders are invited to attend the workshop .

  • We encourage presenters of all genders to highlight the contribution of the female authors, particularly the presenting author.


Submission page: WiCV @CVPR 2021 CMT


Paper template: For both types of submissions please use the final CVPR paper template.


Resume: Resume submission is optional, and will not be used to evaluate submission. Accepted posters and orals will be selected solely based on the submission. If you choose to share your resume with industry sponsors, you should upload it to CMT on the submission page.


Attendance awards: If you wish to be considered for a attendance grant, please mark 'yes' to the question 'Are you applying for a travel stipend?' when submitting your paper on CMT. Those participants indicating ‘yes’ will receive a follow-up email linking to the grant application form.

Attendance Awards

Attendance grants will be awarded to a select number of accepted papers. Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee award grants to all accepted papers. Final grant amounts will depend on the number of applications received and will be announced after paper acceptance notifications. The grants can be used for any expenses incurred from attending the workshop virtually. Grant recipients will be asked to provide receipts for expenses prior to receiving their award. The reimbursements will be sent shortly after the workshop.

Registration Instructions

WiCV is a CVPR workshop, so your registration for it is handled via the CVPR website. Make sure your CVPR registration includes workshops. Information on CVPR registration is available here: http://cvpr2021.thecvf.com.

Presentation Instructions

Since CVPR 2021 will be fully virtual, authors of accepted WiCV papers and extended abstracts will need to provide additional material to support online access.


ORALS: (also must provide what posters do)

  • A 5 minute video of your talk: format=mp4 with h264 compression.

  • All your talk slides that go with the 5 minute video: format=pdf.

  • up to 10 comma separated keywords.


Zoom allows you to record presentations and video locally. If you need assistance to record your video presentation in Zoom, please view this useful tutorial. You can use other tools besides Zoom to record your video. You will see that your video image appears in the top right hand corner, you can choose to not share your video, but we prefer that you have the video.


POSTERS AND ORALS:

  • The ideal dimension of the poster is A0 landscape poster, format=pdf. You can refer to the latex poster template here or use any other template. Please note the workshop/conference name (full name & abbreviation) in the poster. There are no limitations of style.

  • up to 10 comma separated keywords.


The materials will be available from the WiCV workshop page for asynchronous viewing. However, there will also be two live presentation sessions, one during the workshop and the other 12 hours later. This will maximise the amount of people able to see your work. The live presentation sessions will contain text chat and a scheduled video chat room. More details on the platform will be released shortly.
