--- name: iccv-camera-ready description: Use when an ICCV paper is accepted and the final version, releases, and October conference must be delivered, covering de-anonymization edits, the summer camera-ready window between June decisions and the autumn meeting, CVF open access plus IEEE Xplore publication, arXiv synchronization after the embargo lifts, and presenting at an international venue. --- # ICCV Camera-Ready Acceptance at ICCV opens an unusually long runway: decisions landed in late June 2025 and the conference ran October 19–23 in Honolulu, leaving roughly four months between verdict and podium. The camera-ready deadline sits inside that window (the exact 2025 date was not fetchable at verification time — 待核实; it is communicated in the acceptance email and on the conference site). Use the runway deliberately: most camera-ready damage happens in the first rushed week, and most release-promise damage in the last. ## The publication pair An ICCV paper is published through two channels with different jobs: | Channel | What it is | What depends on it | |---|---|---| | CVF open access (openaccess.thecvf.com) | Free public copy of the accepted paper, posted around the conference | What the field actually reads and cites day-to-day | | IEEE Xplore | Version of record under IEEE co-sponsorship | Institutional/indexing records, some tenure and reporting systems | No article-processing charge exists in this pipeline; costs run through registration. There is also no copy editor: the PDF you upload is what both channels carry forever, so the proofreading pass below is the only one that will ever happen. ## De-anonymization is a rewrite pass, not a toggle Work through these in order, then rebuild and re-read the whole paper: 1. Author block, affiliations, and emails restored in the final class mode of the author kit. 2. Acknowledgements written for real: grants, compute providers, colleagues — everything the double-blind rules banned in March. 3. Self-citations un-contorted where third-person phrasing now misleads. 4. The availability statement upgraded from "code will be made publicly available" (the anonymity-era phrasing ICCV 2025 prescribed) to actual URLs — repository, model weights, project page. This is the moment links become legal. 5. Every rebuttal promise executed. Diff your rebuttal PDF against the final text: each "we will clarify/cite/report X" must correspond to a visible edit, because your reviewers are at the poster session in October. ```bash # Promise-tracking during the camera-ready edit grep -oiE 'we will [a-z ]+' rebuttal.pdf.txt | sort -u > promises.txt # ...manually annotate each line with the section where it was honored awk 'END{print NR" promises to verify"}' promises.txt pdftotext camera_ready.pdf - | grep -nE '\?\?|Anonymous|under review' | head # broken refs & leftovers ``` ## Numbers that changed since review Four months is long enough for bug fixes and longer training runs to move your tables. The integrity rule: reviewed numbers may improve in the final version only with a footnote saying what changed and why. Silent upgrades between the version reviewers scored and the version the world reads are how post-publication integrity threads start — at a venue whose proceedings are permanently public on CVF open access, the diff is one script away for anyone. ## Synchronizing the public copies The media embargo ends at acceptance, so the communications sequence inverts: - Update the arXiv preprint to the camera-ready text once it is frozen; a stale arXiv version outranks the official copy in search for months. - Choose one canonical BibTeX (the proceedings entry, once it exists) and put it in the repo README; ICCV papers routinely bleed citations across arXiv/ICCV duplicate entries for years. - Point the project page and repo at the CVF open-access URL when it appears around conference time. - Any press or lab publicity can now cite an *accepted* paper — coordinate it with the conference week when attention peaks. ## October in another country ICCV's venues rotate internationally (Honolulu 2025; Hong Kong announced for October 2027), which makes presentation logistics part of camera-ready season, not conference week: - Registration: confirm the current cycle's rules on paper registration and in-person presentation — these were not verifiable for 2025 (待核实) and vary across CVF venues; the acceptance email is authoritative. - Visas: start the moment the decision arrives; some consulate queues are longer than the June-to-October gap (planning ledger in `iccv-workflow`). - Tier deliverables: an oral needs a timed talk plus poster; a Highlight poster draws extra traffic and must narrate the paper alone; every poster faces a multi-thousand-person hall where one legible headline result beats four dense panels. - Backup presenter: name one when travel is uncertain; a no-show poster helps nobody and can breach presentation obligations. ## Final-version defect list Recurring faults in published CVF-venue PDFs, all catchable in an afternoon: review-mode line numbers surviving into the final build; `\usepackage[review]` left on; figures downsampled by a compression pass until the qualitative comparison is invisible; references still citing arXiv identifiers for papers long since published (fix per `iccv-related-work`); author-order or affiliation mismatches between the PDF, OpenReview, and the publisher form — the mismatch propagates into IEEE Xplore metadata and is painful to correct after indexing. ## Reverify for the current cycle (all 待核实 for 2027) - Camera-ready deadline, page allowance for the final version, and whether an extra page is granted for acknowledgements. - IEEE copyright form mechanics and PDF validation requirements. - Registration-per-paper and presentation-mode rules. - Poster dimensions, talk lengths, and any virtual-platform uploads. ## Output format ```text [Camera-ready state] runway weeks left: ; blockers: [Promise diff] rebuttal commitments honored: n/m [Number changes] none / footnoted: [Links live] repo · weights · project page · availability statement updated [Public sync] arXiv refreshed · canonical BibTeX set · CVF URL linked [October plan] registration · visa · tier deliverables · backup presenter ```
