A complete paper must be submitted in camera-ready format with no more than 8 pages in length. Papers accepted for the conference will be allocated 6 pages in the proceedings, with the option of purchasing up to 2 extra pages. Papers should be submitted in the length and format intended for final publication. Specifically, submitted papers should have a maximum of 8 pages and should adhere to the formatting guidelines below. This page limit will be strictly enforced. Papers with more than 8 pages will be rejected without review.
The paper format must follow the standard IEEE 2-column format of single-spaced text in 10 point Times Roman (or closely resembling), with 12 point interline space. All printed material, including illustrations, must be kept within a print area of 6-7/8 inches (17.5 cm) wide by 8-7/8 inches (22.5 cm) high. The LaTex template below may assist you in meeting this format.
All reviewing will be double blind, so the paper must not include any information which allows the authors to be identified. For example, this might require that some references to the authors' previous work be left blank. This is not optional. Papers that provide obvious identifying information will be rejected without review. See the anonymization guidelines below for more details.
Please note that CVPR does not allow dual submissions to other conferences. If such submissions are discovered, papers will be removed from the conference even though they have been accepted.
In addition to removing author information from the paper header and any
identity clue from the main text, every reference to work by the authors must
be made anonymous in one of the following alternative ways:
1. References to other papers by the same authors are listed as "Anonymous"
(with no other information) in the bibliography. However, any such reference
that is relevant for the evaluation of the paper is uploaded as supplementary
material and in anonymous format (i.e., after removing all identifying
information).
2. Work by the same authors that appears on mainstream and readily
available publications is cited in the
third person, provided that nothing in the referencing can be traced to the
identity of the authors.
For instance, "In [3], Geman and Geman have proposed ..." is
acceptable, whereas "In [3], we have proposed ..." is not, when
reference [3] is listed as "IEEE Trans. PAMI, 6(6):721-741, November 1984.
Also, "In [3], Smith and Jones have proposed ..." is not
acceptable if [3] is listed as
"in press", or, say, "North-Western New South Wales Symposium on Computer
Vision, 1993" (no offense to north-western new south Welsh.)
The following simple LaTex macros may be useful for submitting a paper to a PAMI-TC conference. If the paper is accepted, you will be sent an official set of IEEE conference macros for final preparation of the camera-ready copy.
You can cut and paste the following text to create a working LaTex file. Templates in other formats are available on the IEEE Author Guidelines site.

\section*{\centering Abstract}
{\em
This is the abstract of my paper. It must fit within the
size allowed, which is about 3 inches, including section
title, which is 11 point bold font. If you don't want
the text in italics, simply remove the `em' command and
the curly braces which bound the abstract text. If you
have em commands within an italicized abstract, the text
will come out as normal (non-italicized) text.

\Section{Introduction}
Here is my introduction text. The section heading is in a large
bold font and all sections and subsections are numbered.
Type your main text in 10-point Times, single-spaced at 12pt. Do not
use double-spacing. All paragraphs should be indented 1 pica
(approximately 1/6- or 0.17-inch or 0.422 cm). Be sure your text is
fully justified---that is, flush left and flush right. Please do not
place any additional blank lines between paragraphs.
\SubSection{Previous Work}
There are various bibliographic and citation schemes available in
LaTex, but we choose to use the simplest one in this example.
Throughout I may cite references of the form \cite{key:foo} or
\cite{foo:baz}, and LaTeX will keep track of numbering. The numbers
are based on the order you place them in the bibliography, not the
order they appear in the text. They should (I believe) be in
alphabetical order. LaTex will put square brackets about the number
within the text of your paper. For those of you new to LaTex, you may
have to run the latex process twice to allow all references to be
resolved. You will get a warning about a missing .aux file. Just
rerun latex and it will be ok.
\Section{Summary and Conclusions}
This template will get you through the minimum article, i.e., with no
figures or equations. To include those, please refer to your LaTeX
manual and the IEEE publications guidelines. However, for a vision
conference you will probably want the following equation somewhere:
$$g(x) = {1\over\sqrt{2\pi}\sigma}e^{-x^2/2\sigma^2}$$
Good Luck!

\section*{Acknowledgments}
This is how to do an unnumbered subsection. For submission, there
should be no acknowledgments as this could lead to identification
of the author.
