Message from Program Chairs

We hope you enjoy the ICCV 2011 program. We received 1433 complete submissions by the deadline. Papers that did not meet the submission guidelines were rejected without review, leaving 1394 papers at the end of the reviewing phase. Handling the review process for such a large number of papers remains a challenge and we will give more details on the ICCV 2011 reviewing process below. Our committee accepted 45 papers for Oral Presentation (3.1%) and 294 papers as Posters (20.5%). These numbers were arrived at naturally, without us specifying a target acceptance rate. They correspond to an overall acceptance rate of 23.7%, in line with previous editions, and cement ICCVs reputation as one of the most competitive events in our field. The distribution of submitted and accepted papers per topic is shown in figure 1 on the next page. All Posters have a short oral spotlight presentation, interleaved with the longer Oral Presentations, in a single-track program. Videos could also be produced for all papers, if the authors so desired. In addition to contributed papers, the program includes three invited speakers from fields closely related to Computer Vision.
