WACV Camera-Ready

Use this once a paper is accepted — at Round 1 outright or after the Round 2 decision — to

turn the reviewed submission into the version of record. WACV publishes dually (CVF open

access and IEEE Xplore), so camera-ready has both a CVF and an IEEE side. Facts are the WACV

2026/2027 cycles as read on 2026-07-09; confirm the exact camera-ready deadline, page

allowance, and forms on the current Author Guidelines (some items are 待核实).

From reviewed PDF to version of record

| Step | What changes | Watch for |

|---|---|---|

| De-anonymize | Add author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, funding | Do not also re-break a claim reviewers accepted |

| Incorporate final edits | Fold in required revision changes, fix typos | Stay within the page allowance (待核实 if extra page granted) |

| Add real links | Project page, code repo, dataset now permitted | These were banned at review — add them only now |

| IEEE + CVF forms | IEEE copyright, PDF validation, metadata | Author list and title must match OpenReview exactly |

| Registration | At least one author registers per paper | Miss it and the paper can be pulled |

De-anonymize carefully

The camera-ready is the first time author identity, acknowledgements, funding, and real

repository links are allowed. Add them — but do not use the de-anonymization pass to quietly

strengthen a claim the reviewers accepted in weaker form; the accepted content is what was

reviewed. Restore only identity and the links that review forbade.

Dual publication: CVF open access + IEEE Xplore

Where a WACV paper lands after camera-ready:
  CVF open access (openaccess.thecvf.com) → the accepted version, free, with a watermark
  IEEE Xplore                             → the version of record (indexed, citable)
Both come from the same camera-ready package; there is no article-processing charge, and the
conference is funded by registration. Cite the IEEE/CVF WACV proceedings, not an arXiv id.

Honor the release obligation

If a dataset or code was claimed as a contribution, the camera-ready is when it must be

genuinely available: public repository, stated license, and (for datasets) any consent or

collection basis documented. Turn the anonymous review artifact into the public release (see

wacv-artifact-evaluation), and make sure the paper's links point to it.

Prepare the winter presentation

WACV is a winter conference (January 2027 window; exact dates/location 待核实). Once

accepted, prepare the assigned format — poster or talk — and plan for the venue and travel.

Because applications work is judged visually, a poster or talk that shows the system working

under its real constraint lands better than one that only reports a table.

Reverify each cycle

• The camera-ready deadline and whether an extra page over the 8-page body is granted.
• The exact IEEE copyright / PDF validation steps and CVF metadata fields.
• Per-paper registration and in-person vs virtual presentation obligations (待核实).
• The dataset/code public-availability deadline.
