Author Kit

Please refer to the following files for detailed formatting instructions. Example submission paper with detailed instructions: egpaper_for_review.pdf

• LaTeX/Word Templates (gzipped tar file): cvprkit.tgz
• LaTeX/Word Templates (zip file): cvprkit.zip

Formatting Instructions and Pages.

Paper length:

A complete paper should be submitted in camera-ready format. The length should match that intended for final publication. Papers accepted for the conference will be allocated 6 pages in the proceedings, with the option of purchasing up to 2 extra pages for US$100 per page (to be paid after paper acceptance, at the time of registration for the conference). So, if you are unwilling or unable to pay the extra charge, you should limit yourself to 6 pages.

Supplementary Material

Authors may optionally upload supplementary material, which 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.

Important notes:

1. All supplementary material must be zipped into a single file. Alternatively, you can choose to upload a PDF file containing any non-video item listed above. There is a 30MB 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).
2. To avoid possibly over-taxing the submission site, we have allocated SIX extra days for you to upload supplementary materials. The paper for review (PDF only) must be submitted first before the supplementary material (PDF or ZIP only) can be submitted. We request that you submit the supplementary material after the paper deadline of Nov 20, 2008 5pm PST.  BUT, please don’t wait until the last minutes of Nov 26, 2008 5pm PST to submit supplementary materials.
3. Please make sure that the supplementary material directly supports the paper as submitted prior to the paper deadline of Nov 20, 2008 5pm PST. 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; sneaking such material in would be unethical.
4. Do not submit a newer version of the paper as supplementary material for any reason whatsoever. A newer version, with description of an improved algorithm/approach/system, or even one spelling or typo correction, is absolutely not allowed. Submitting this constitutes a gross abuse of the process. Reviewers will be asked to report such cases.

Policies

Double blind review:

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.

Dual/Double Submissions:

By submitting a manuscript to CVPR, the authors guarantee that it has not been previously published (or accepted for publication) in substantially similar form. Furthermore, no paper which contains significant overlap with the contributions of this paper either is under review at the moment of submission or will be submitted during the CVPR 2009 review period (November 20, 2008 – March 2, 2009) to any of the following: another conference, a workshop, or a journal. The authors also attest that they did not submit substantially similar submissions to CVPR 2009. Violation of any of these conditions will lead to rejection.

Author’s Responsibilities

If there are papers that may appear to violate any of these conditions, it is the authors’ responsibility to (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.

PLEASE Do not leave submission-specific information (such as a paper abstract or any paper content) in the comments submission below.
