Paper Submission

All submissions will be handled electronically via the OpenReview conference submission website https://openreview.net/group?id=thecvf.com/CVPR/2026/Conference. All authors must agree to the policies stipulated below. The submission deadline is November 13, 2025, 11:59pm Anywhere on Earth (UTC-12) and will not be changed. Supplementary materials can be submitted until November 20, 2025, 11:59pm Anywhere on Earth (UTC-12).

An up-to-date OpenReview profile for all co-authors is required to submit a paper. Note that new profiles created without an institutional email will go through a moderation process which can take up to two weeks. New profiles created with an institutional email will be activated automatically.

Submission Requirements and Policies

Dual Submission Policy.  By submitting to CVPR, authors confirm that no substantially similar paper has been or will be submitted to another conference or workshop during the review period (November 13, 2025 – February 20, 2026). For complete dual submission guidelines and prior work policies, see the Author Guidelines on the conference website.

Review Process Agreement.  By submitting a paper, authors agree to participate in the review process and understand that OpenReview will automatically match manuscripts to appropriate reviewers and area chairs based on expertise.

Mandatory Reviewer Service.  All authors commit to serve as reviewers, area chairs, or senior area chairs when invited by the program chairs. Exceptions are granted only for truly exceptional circumstances that must be:

  • Disclosed to the program chairs in advance
  • Approved by the program chairs as valid reasons for exemption

This policy follows PAMI Technical Committee guidelines and recent conference practices.

IEEE submission policies: https://conferences.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/author-ethics/guidelines-and-policies/submission-policies/

Publication and Patent Disclosure  

All accepted papers will be publicly released by the Computer Vision Foundation (CVF) two weeks before the conference. Authors considering patent applications should note that the paper's official public disclosure date is whichever occurs first:

  • Two weeks before the conference, or
  • When authors make the paper publicly available themselves
