Instructions for preparing and submitting camera-ready papers
(Note: Only for papers with decision Accept as Oral or Accept as Poster)

We have given the main steps as well as detailed instructions for preparing the final manuscript. Please read this entire document carefully.

Main Steps

  1. Use the new Latex package to create the final camera-ready manuscript

  2. Use a proper tool to convert to a PDF document that has only scalable fonts with all fonts embedded.

  3. Rename the resulting file name as FirstAuthorLastName.PaperId.pdf (e.g. If the first author name is Tim Rosenfeld and the paper ID is 21, then the file name should be Rosenfeld.21.pdf)

  4. Upload to the ICVGIP10 CMT portal.

  5. Wait for final confirmation (towards end of October) from the organizers that “All is Well”.

Detailed Instructions:
(It is important that you comply with these instructions, failing which your paper may not be published).

  1. The camera ready paper must be submitted by October 21, 2010 at the authors' console by logging into the ICVGIP10 CMT portal. Do not delete any previously submitted material.

  2. To prepare the final manuscript, download the latex package from here. The package includes an example pdf file containing formatting and copyright tag instructions. The camera-ready manuscript must be submitted in pdf format only. Please verify that the copyright number at the bottom of the first page of the final pdf is 978-1-4503-0060-5/10/12.

  3. The camera-ready paper should include the authors' names, their affiliations, and contact details at the beginning of the paper, as shown in the style file. The authors' names for a paper should not be altered from what was provided at the time of submission (except for inadvertent typos in the names). You may also refer to self-citations in the first person, and include acknowledgements, if any.

  4. The corresponding author should be indicated by an asterisk (*). In the provided template, the first-author is indicated as the corresponding author. If the first author is not the corresponding author, please place the asterisk appropriately.

  5. The reviewers and area chairs have taken a lot of effort to review each paper. Their suggestions should be taken into account while preparing the camera-ready paper.

  6. The final manuscript should not exceed 8 pages in length. If you wish to submit new supplementary material, you can do so along with the camera-ready submission at the CMT portal. (You need not re-submit your earlier supplementary materials). The supplementary material should be in pdf, zip or tar.gz formats. The total size including the camera-ready file and supplementary should be under 30MB.

  7. The camera-ready pdf file must have all fonts embedded. Only Type 1 fonts (scalable) should be used. Do not use Type 3 (bit-mapped) fonts. Bit mapped fonts are NOT ok even if they are embedded. The latex package which is provided contains a pdflatex version and an eps version, and you can use either of them.

    We recommend using the pdflatexVersion for compiling the latex file, as it automatically embeds Type 1 font. A Makefile has been provided for authors. For using pdflatex, the images must be in png or pdf formats (and not eps format). However, if you wish to use epsVersion, on UNIX command line use the Makefile provided in the epsVersion in the package by changing the filenames appropriately, to create the pdf.

  8. After creating the pdf file, you must check if all fonts are embedded and are only Type 1. To verify, (i) In Acrobat reader use 'File' - 'Document Properties' and click on the 'Font' tab. Make sure that all the fonts that are listed have embedded subset written next to them and have type label as Type 1. (ii) From a UNIX command-line, execute pdffonts <file_name>.pdf. This will list the type and information of all the fonts which are used in the document. Everything should be Type 1 and “emb” should be “yes”.

  9. The final camera-ready pdf file should be named as FirstAuthorLastName.PaperId.pdf.

  10. ACM will contact the corresponding author directly (if not already done) regarding the copyright form (mandatory for publication).

  11. Authors should check if the camera-ready paper is uploaded correctly at the CMT portal (ideally, download after upload).

  12. As always, if you have any questions, please contact icvgip10@ee.iitm.ac.in
