CVPR LaTeX template (also ICCV and WACV)

The official CVPR author kit is at github.com/cvpr-org/author-kit. Scissor LaTeX has a free look-alike for drafting in your browser, with no account: start from the CVPR template, or load \usepackage[review]{cvpr} in a two-column article, for the review copy with line numbers and anonymous authors, the rebuttal or the camera-ready layout. The same .tex compiles with the official kit.

The template

The CVPR template is a computer-vision paper about semantic segmentation with three authors, a full-width chart comparing model families, a per-class booktabs table, cleveref references and numbered citations. Open the CVPR template in the editor to see all of it. It starts in the camera-ready layout with page numbers; change one option for the review copy.

Turning it on

The kit is a package on a two-column article:

\documentclass[10pt,twocolumn,letterpaper]{article}
\usepackage[review]{cvpr}

\usepackage{iccv} and \usepackage{wacv} switch on the same layout, since the three conferences share one kit. The page is always Letter and two columns, set in TeX Gyre Termes (a free Times substitute, downloaded the first time).

Modes

In review mode the authors are replaced by "Anonymous CVPR submission" and the paper ID, and a header with the conference name, the year, the paper ID and "CONFIDENTIAL REVIEW COPY" runs along the top of each page. Set the ID with \def\paperID{..}; until then it shows stars. The legacy switch \cvprfinalcopy from older kits still gives the camera-ready mode.

Review copy: anonymous, with line numbers

\begin{document}
\maketitle

\begin{abstract}
Small segmentation networks blur object boundaries. We add a refinement head that
works on a thin band around predicted edges and costs little extra computation.
\end{abstract}

\section{Introduction}
\label{sec:intro}
Lightweight models are fast but lose detail at boundaries, where most errors occur.
On 44 classes, the band covers less than a tenth of the pixels.
\end{document}

Problems tab: Layout in the style of the CVPR author kit (anonymous review mode). Not official. To compile elsewhere, add cvpr.sty from github.com/cvpr-org/author-kit.

Kit commands

With \usepackage[colorlinks, ..]{hyperref}, as the template has, links, references and citations are coloured in the kit's cvprblue. \cref and \Cref from cleveref give "Sec. 1" and "Tab. 1" with the \crefname lines of the template.

Bibliography

The template uses \bibliographystyle{ieeenat_fullname}, which Scissor LaTeX sets as numbered references. See bibliographies.

What differs from cvpr.sty

To submit, get the kit from github.com/cvpr-org/author-kit and put its files next to your .tex file; it compiles unchanged. See conference look-alike templates for the other layouts, and floats for figure*.
