WACV 2027
The IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision Tutorials 2027
The IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV) 2027 is a premier international event focused on practical applications and innovative algorithms in computer vision. It features a main conference, co-located workshops, and tutorials, offering a high-quality, low-cost platform for students, academics, and industry researchers to share advancements in vision systems and methodologies.
Paper fit
Contribution paths
A strong submission should clearly identify its contribution and evaluate it appropriately.
Tutorial Proposals
Proposals for half-day or full-day educational tutorials, submitted in PDF format, covering comprehensive overviews of specific computer vision topics with target audience, outline, and presenter credentials.
Workshop Proposals
Proposals for workshops to be held on January 4–5, 2027, focusing on computer vision topics, interdisciplinary themes, or community-building, with a requirement to manage the technical program, invite speakers, and publish accepted papers if applicable.
