Submission Instructions

- Extended Abstracts: We encourage primarily female-identifying (undergraduate and graduate) students, post-docs, and junior researchers in all areas of computer vision to submit a short paper (2 pages excluding references) describing new, previously, or concurrently published research or work-in-progress.

- Full Length Papers: The workshop will offer the opportunity to publish full length papers in the workshop proceedings (4-8 pages excluding references). These papers should describe new work that has not been previously published, accepted for publication, or submitted for review at another venue during our review period. The accepted papers will appear in the CVPR workshops proceedings and IEEE Xplore. These papers will also be in the Computer Vision Foundation (CVF) open access archive.

- 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 2020 CMT

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

Resume: Resume submission is optional. 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.

Travel awards: If you wish to be considered for a travel 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 travel grant application form. Please note that since WiCV is now virtual, the travel grant will cover the registration fees.

Travel Awards

Travel 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. Last year travel grants ranged from $200-$2000 depending on the location of the grant recipient. The travel grants can be used for any travel expenses incurred from attending the workshop, such as flights, hotel, and conference registration. Note that the travel grant may not (and probably will not) cover all your expenses. Travel grant recipients will be asked to provide receipts for expenses prior to receiving their award. International travel grant recipients will be required to submit additional information, including entry visa information, in order to receive reimbursement. The reimbursements will be sent shortly after the workshop.

If you are an author of an accepted paper, you must have received details about the grant from WiCV organizers.

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://cvpr2020.thecvf.com/attend/registration

Presentation Instructions

Since CVPR 2020 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 10 minute video of your talk: format=mp4 with h264 compression

- All your talk slides that go with the 10 minute video: format=pdf

POSTERS AND ORALS

- 1 minute ‘advertisement/spotlight’ video: format=mp4 with h264 compression

- Slides on which your talk/poster was based: format=pdf

- One 512x512 teaser image with main result: format=gif, animation is OK

- 150 character teaser text

- up to 10 comma separated keywords

These slides give an illustration of how the material will be used.

There is some advice on how to create the video here.

The materials will be available from the WiCV workshop page on the CVPR website 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 hopefully a scheduled video chat room.

DEADLINES AND TIMELINE

Upload all materials at https://video.vast.uccs.edu with details and size limitations specified on this site.

The upload for WiCV workshop material will be open for submission between May 21-25, ending at 5pm MDT.
