We provide detailed instructions for preparing and uploading the final camera ready manuscript. Two versions of the manuscript have to be prepared and submitted in a single zip file. Please read this entire page CAREFULLY and prepare the manuscripts as per the given instructions.

Instructions for Preparing Camera Ready Manuscripts

• The camera ready paper must be submitted by October 20, 2015, 23:59:59 IST at the authors' console by logging into the NCVPRIP 2015 CMT portal.
• Do not delete any previously submitted material.
• To prepare the final manuscript, authors must use the manuscript template specified for IEEE Conference proceedings.
• 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. You may also refer to self-citations in the first person, and include acknowledgements, if any.
• The title of the paper must not be changed for the camera ready version, unless it is to correct some typographical errors, or the change is suggested in the review process. Any change must also be reflected in the relevant CMT paper submission text record that was created when thepaper ID was generated.
• 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.
• The paper must not exceed 4 pages in length (including all text, figures, and references).
• The manuscript must be in pdf format only.
• The camera-ready pdf file must have all fonts embedded. Only Type 1, Type 1C or TrueType fonts (scalable) should be used. Do not use Type 3 (bit-mapped) fonts. Bit mapped fonts are NOT ok even if they are embedded.
• Authors using the LaTeX template must use the following package options: 10pt, final,conference, letterpaper. Authors using software other than the TeX/LaTeX system should match the pdf generated in keeping with IEEE guidelines available on their web page.
• After creating the pdf file, you must check if all fonts are embedded and are only Type 1, Type 1C or TrueType. To verify,

  • 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/Type 1C/TrueType.
  • From a UNIX command-line, execute pdffonts .pdf. This will list the type and information of all the fonts which are used in the document. Everything should be Type 1/Type 1C/TrueType and "emb" should be "yes".
• The images embedded in the paper must not contain transparent pixels (i.e., an alpha-channel of a transparent color) since this could lead to problems when displaying or printing the pdf.
• The pdf manuscript must not have Adobe Document Protection or Document Security enabled.
• Now create two versions of this final manuscript

  • The first version is for distribution during the conference.
    • In this version, the authors must include a line at the bottom of the first page of the paper that says “This is a pre-print version of a paper accepted to NCVPRIPG 2015, IIT Patna.” Authors using the LaTeX template for typesetting can use the /thanks option in the author list to place this in the correct position on the page.
    • This pdf file should be named as FirstAuthorLastName.PaperId.pdf. E.g., if the first author name is Tim Sharma and the paper ID is 21, then the file name should be Sharma.21.pdf.
  • The second version is for submission to IEEE so that it can become part of the online proceedings.
  • Include the following text as the copyright notice at the bottom of the first page of the paper: 978-1-4673-8564-0/15/$31.00 ©2015 IEEE
