CVPR 2018 Workshops Call for Proposals

Workshops Chairs: Srikumar Ramalingam and Mathieu Salzmann
Proposal Deadline: October 20, 2017 [11:59 p.m. Pacific Standard Time]
Notification by: December 10, 2017

We are soliciting proposals for workshops to be held together with the 2018 Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition Conference (CVPR 2018). The workshops will take place on June 18 and June 22 at the same venue as the main conference. The purpose of workshops is to provide a comprehensive forum on topics that will not be fully explored during the main conference and to encourage in-depth discussion of technical and application issues. The CVPR 2018 organizers will collect workshop registrations, provide facilities, and distribute electronic copies of the workshop proceedings.

In the past few years, the number of workshop proposals has been increasing rapidly. Due to space and time limitations, as well as to encourage diversity of topic coverage, we will only be able to retain a limited number of proposals. Therefore, we encourage the workshop organizers to submit proposals that are specific and detailed in justifying relevance and viability.

When preparing a proposal please note the following dates:

  • CVPR 2018 author notification: Feb 28, 2018
  • Last day for workshop camera-ready submission: April 10, 2018
  • Last day for finalized workshop program: April 20, 2018

The above workshop camera-ready and finalized program dates are hard deadlines.

Proposals should be submitted in PDF format by email to workshops-cvpr2018@googlegroups.com by Friday, October 20, 2017 [11.59pm Pacific Standard Time]. The proposals should include the following information:

1. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
