The submission deadline for final manuscripts and copyright forms is 25 July 2008.

The ECCV 2008 proceedings will be published by Springer, in the LNCS series (Lecture Notes in Computer Science), in volumes 5302 to 5305.

In the following, instructions for submitting final manuscripts (camera-ready) are given. The original paper submission instructions and author kit are still accessible, for archival reasons and for use as author kit for some workshops (cf. instructions for individual workshops).

The author kit for final manuscripts is different from that for initial submissions (essentially, it does not produce line numbers on the page margins). Final manuscripts should be prepared using LaTeX2e and this author kit: llncs2e.zip
Please follow the formating instructions provided with the author kit carefully (file llncsdoc.pdf).

It is possible, but discouraged, to use other systems for the preparation of papers, e.g. MS-Word. Author kits may be found on http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-7-72376-0, under "Proceedings and Other Multiauthor Volumes ...".

Supplemental material: It is possible to provide supplemental material to each paper; this will be accessible together with the paper in the online ECCV proceedings at SpringerLink. Only one supplemental file per paper may be provided. No images, PDF's or text files will be accepted: supplemental material should be a video or a 3D model for example. The file size is limited to 30MB.

Paper length: The standard paper length is 12 pages. Papers may be up to 14 pages long; a fee of 30 Euros will be asked for each page above the 12-page limit.
Important: Springer will edit the provided source files in order to insert running heads etc. and to smooth out any formatting inconsistencies. Hence, do not reduce the paper length e.g. by reducing vertical spaces between paragraphs or the like, as this will be corrected by Springer, possibly resulting in an increase of the paper length. To avoid any problem, please use the author kit recommended above and follow its formatting instructions. This is also valid for bibliographic references: Springer may correct them if they don't follow the required format, possibly resulting in an increase of paper length.

Author names: Please write out author names in full in the paper, i.e. full first and family names.

Color figures: In hardcopies of the proceedings, all figures will be printed in black and white. If you provide color figures, please make sure they are legible in black and white. In the electronic and online version of the proceedings, colored figures will appear in color, at no extra charge.

Copyright forms: One copyright form per paper has to be provided. Please download the template of the form here: copyrigh.pdf. Please fill in the form and sign it (the signature of one author is sufficient). The following two items should be given as:

• Title of the Book/Volume/Conference: ECCV 2008
• Volume Editor(s): David Forsyth, Philip Torr, Andrew Zisserman

How to submit final papers: We need all the source files (LaTeX files, style files, special fonts, figures, bib-files, Word or RTF files) that are required to compile papers, as well as the final PDF of every paper. For each paper, one ZIP-file has to be prepared and submitted via the ECCV 2008 Submission Website, using the password you received with your initial registration on that site. The ZIP-file has to contain the following:

• All source files, e.g. LaTeX2e files for the text, PS/EPS or PDF/JPG files for all figures, e.g.
• Any further style files and fonts you may have used
• Final DVI file (for papers prepared using LaTeX/TeX)
• Final PDF file (for reference), for whichever system was used to prepare the paper (i.e. also for MS-Word)
• RTF files (for word-processing systems other than LaTeX/TeX)
• A scanned version of the signed copyright form, in PDF-format (see above)
• A text file named "contact.txt" containing the following information, in that order:
  • Name and email address of a corresponding author (author who will be contacted for proof-reading, see below).
  • For each author, in the order in which authors appear on the paper: Full family name(s), full first name(s), email address, affiliation (name of institute as it should appear in the conference programme, not the full address). Please separate these 4 items by ",".

Proof-reading: The corresponding author (see above) of each paper will receive a PDF version of the paper by email, after the editing process performed by Springer. The email will come from an email address in India and will have an attachment (the PDF-file), so authors should make sure that such emails are not automatically filtered out.
The purpose of this extra loop is to ensure that no errors have crept in during the editing process. No updates to the papers or mistakes made by the authors will be accepted at that stage.
Proofs are expected to be sent to authors in the second half of August 2008. Please ensure that the corresponding author is available in this period. The proof-reading procedure takes place directly between Springer and authors, i.e. without involvement of the ECCV 2008 organisation committee.

Summary:

• Submit one ZIP-file per paper, containing the paper source files, the signed copyright form and contact information, to the ECCV 2008 Submission Website. Deadline: 25 July 2008.
  When doing this, please also visit the "Edit Paper Information" section of the submission website and specify how the paper should be listed in the conference program and proceedings:
  • Enter in *plain English* an affiliation for each author on your paper
  • Update the title and authors (if these have changed) to be consistent with your final uploaded manuscript
  • If the main author is a student, then please check the "student paper" box. This information will be used when deciding on the best student paper award.
• Proof-reading: Second half of August.
• At least one author per paper has to register for the conference; extra-page charges have to be paid as part of one of the authors' registration. Deadline: 29 August 2008.
