CTDVC 2021

About this event

The 3nd Contest of Thesis and Dissertations in Computer Vision (Concurso de Teses e Dissertações em Visão Computacional - CTDVC 2021) aims to disseminate postgraduate research in the fields of Computer Vision and Image Processing awarding the best doctoral theses and master's dissertations completed, defended, and approved in Brazil in the last year.

The theses and dissertations will be selected for publication and presentation based on their impact on society and for companies, as well as a significant and outstanding contribution to the scientific area.

Awards

Up to six papers corresponding to the three best doctoral theses and the three best master's dissertations will be awarded. These works must necessarily be presented by the author or his/her advisor at the XVII Workshop de Visão Computacional (WVC 2021), in a special session.

Participants

Doctors and masters in any knowledge area can submit papers for this contest, as long as their research have been developed with Computer Vision and Image Processing. Their theses or dissertations must have been defended in Brazil, from January 1st, 2020 to June 30th, (extended to) August 30th, 2021*.

*Only theses or dissertations that have not been submitted for WVC 2020.

Publication

The abstract of all the works selected for the contest will be published in the proceedings of the event.

Submission of works

Candidates must submit their work electronically at link for the submition, choosing the track corresponding to work (Master's or Doctorate).

A file with the full text of the thesis or dissertation, in pdf format, should be sent.

For the works selected in the first stage, a copy of the certificate of completion and approval of the thesis/dissertation, issued by the Coordination of the Course, will be requested, stating the name of the postgraduate program, the date of the defense, the name(s) of the advisor(s), the members of the examination board, the name of the candidate and the title of the thesis/dissertation.

Selection

The selection will be based on the evaluation of the entire thesis/dissertation. The theses and dissertations submitted to the CTDVC 2021 will be evaluated by a committee composed of researchers with recognized experience in the area of Computational Vision and experience in the orientation of theses and dissertations.

The Committee of Reviewers will be chosen after the date of submission of the works, so there will be no teachers with submitted works in the Committee.

Registration at the event

The authors of the selected works must be enrolled in the event, and the enrollment may be made in the graduate student category.

Policies

• WVC 2021 reviewing is double-blind, in that authors do not know the names of the area chair/reviewers of their papers, and area chairs/reviewers do not know the names of the authors
• Avoid providing information that may identify the authors in the acknowledgments (e.g., co-workers and grant IDs).
• Avoid providing links to websites that identify the authors. Violation of any of these guidelines will lead to rejection without review.
• By submitting a manuscript to WVC 2021, the authors guarantee that it has not been previously published (or accepted for publication) in a substantially similar form.
• It is the authors' responsibility to ensure that all authors on their paper have registered their conflicts on CMT website. Conflicts are needed to resolve assignments to both reviewers and area chairs.
