Call for Papers

We invite paper submissions about unpublished work. The papers will go through a double-blind review and, if accepted, they will be published in the ECCV workshop proceedings. All accepted papers will be presented as a poster and as a two-minutes pitch presentation. Additionally, the most outstanding works will be presented as an oral presentation.

The covered topics include but are not limited to:

• Digitization and mobilisation of specimen data from labels and archive cards
• 2D and 3D specimen imaging
• Robotic vision for automated imaging
• Species recognition and AI‑assisted species description
• Phenology estimation from collection specimens
• Benchmarks, datasets, and evaluation protocols
• Vision-based quality control and error detection
• Morphological trait extraction using CV
• Computational challenges for species recognition (CT-scans of micro‑fossils and handwritten insect labels)

We are also launching two Kaggle Challenges, and the authors of the top-performing submissions will be invited to participate in a paper.

Format & Submission

Papers are limited to 14 pages, including figures and tables, in the LNCS style of Springer. Additional pages containing only cited references are allowed.

If accepted, your abstract will be presented as a poster, giving you a great opportunity to showcase your work and advertise it to the community. You’ll receive an accept/reject notification one week after the submission deadline (see below).
