Submission of Final Papers

Papers accepted for poster presentation have the same format, the same page limit and the same requirement for registration as papers accepted for oral presentation. This is described below. The posters will be presented in poster sessions together with approximately 40 other posters, here the authors can explain and elaborate on their work. The size of the poster stands are not determined yet, this information will be posted here when available.

At least one author need to be registered to the ECCV main confererence before February 28 for the paper to be published in the proceedings.

The camera ready copies should be prepared strictly according to the instructions at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html. The page limit is 15 pages, with the option to buy one or two further pages for 100 EUR each. Furthermore, it is possible to buy colour pages for 250 EUR each. Please register and pay for the extra page(s) and/or colour page(s) through the online registration form. Please notice that it is no longer possible to order colour pages for the ECCV 2002 proceedings as the printing process has begun.

The copyright forms are available at http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/copyrigh.html.

If a link from the electronic version to supplement materiale is desired, you should do the following: A file denoted supplementmateriale.txt should be uploaded together with the files for papers. The file should contain a description in the form of a title, a few lines and a URL. A hardcopy of this file should be submitted together with the hardcopy of the paper.

Observe that the signed copyright forms are needed to publish the paper in Springer Lecture notes. Without this form they cannot include the paper in the proceedings.

Upload all electronic files necessary to generate the paper, i.e. tex-files, ps- or pdf-file, all images and illustrations to ftp.maths.lth.se

Log in as guest and use eccv02 as password.
Go to the directory eccv02 and then proceedings
Create a directory with your paper name and upload all files

For example for paper number 123:

ftp ftp.maths.lth.se
login: guest
passw: eccv02
cd eccv02
cd proceedings
mkdir 123
cd 123
put paper123.gz

If this does not work (after several attempts), put the files on your server and send the link to eccv02@maths.lth.se

The hard DEADLINE is Wednesday the 27th February.
(You may choose your favorite time-zone.)

Submission of Papers for Review

The submission is electronic. The submission system can be accessed at http://eccv02.maths.lth.se:8080/ECCV02/. If you have problems accessing the site try instead http://130.235.2.15:8080/ECCV02/.

Observe that you first have to fill in the submission registration form. Then you will receive an email with your submission password. Finally, log in using this password and upload your paper. If you have any problems, please mail to eccv02@maths.lth.se.

The submitted papers must contain the following:

A title page containing:
- The title of the paper.
- An abstract of up to 300 words clearly stating the impact of the contribution (originality, importance, results, related work and how it differs).
- A set of keywords (please ensure that at least one of the keywords corresponds to a topic in the Call for Papers).
- The names and institutions of the authors are not to be identified.
The body of the paper which should be no more that 15 pages including all text, figures, and references. For details of the required format of the paper see below.

By submitting a paper to ECCV 2002, the author(s) warrant that it and any related paper with essentially the same content have not and will not be submitted to any other conference until the end of the ECCV 2002 review period at February 2 2002.

All reviewing will be double blind, so the paper must not include any information which allows the authors to be identified. For example, this will probably require that references to the author's previous work be left blank. This is not optional. Papers that provide obvious identifying information may be returned or have sections blanked out for reviewers.

Paper Format

Papers which are accepted for the conference will be included in the Proceedings which will be published in the Springer Verlag Lecture Notes in Computer Science. The layout of the papers must adhere strictly to the guidelines set out in the Instructions for the Preparation of Camera-Ready Contributions to LNCS Proceedings (www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html). Authors are asked to follow these instructions exactly. This also applies for papers submitted for review.

In addition to the Springer author instructions, authors should ensure that the submitted paper meet the following criteria.

The paper must not exceed 15 pages in the LNCS format. The font sizes must conform with the LNCS instructions.

Papers should conform strictly to one of the following two encodings:

Plain ASCII level 1 or 2 encapsulated PostScript, without encoding or condensation. Level 2 PostScript is compatible with almost all current printers and allows JPEG-compressed PostScript images to be included, which greatly reduces file sizes. To add a PostScript header to a JPEG image, use jpeg2ps (www.pdflib.com/jpeg2ps/index.html).
Level 3 or 4 PDF without passwords or encryption. Use only Adobe Acrobat (distiller) to create PDF, not MS Word, ghostscript, etc.
MS Word and other word processor formats will not be accepted.

The fonts used must meet the following criteria:

All fonts must be from Latin 1 Fontset. Do NOT use Ryumin or other non-European fonts -- your document will NOT print on European printers. Non-european authors should check the fonts included before submission (e.g. for PDF files in Acroread, use File -> Document Info -> Fonts -> List all Fonts)
Except for the 13 basic PostScript fonts (Times-Roman, Helvetica, Courrier, Symbol), every font used must be included.
If possible, include only outline (Type 1 or TrueType) fonts, not bitmapped ones. This is mainly an issue for (La)TeX users. Recent TeX distributions such as TeTeX contain a full set of type 1 fonts. Also check that your dvips is configured to use them -- lines like "p psfonts.map" in the dvips config.ps file.

Dual Submission Policy

We will except dual submission to the main conference and to associated workshops, if the author(s) certify that in case of acceptance to the main conference the paper will be withdrawn from the workshops. (For dual submissions to several workshops, please consult the workshop organizers.)

In case of dual submissions the author(s) have to send a written letter to the address below, clarifying to which workshop(s) the paper is submitted and certifying that it will be redrawn from this workshop(s) in case of acceptance at the main conference.
