Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length original research papers. The conference proceedings will be published in the digital archives of the IEEE. The authors can also submit supplementary materials along with their papers. In submitting a manuscript to NCVPRIPG, authors acknowledge that no paper substantially similar in content has been or will be submitted to another journal, or conference or workshop during the review period. In such a case the paper will be rejected without review. Papers must be electronically submitted before the deadline expires without exception.

Instructions for preparing manuscripts

  • Authors must use the manuscript template specified for IEEE Conference proceedings (http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html).
  • The paper must not exceed 4 pages in length (including all text, figures, and references).
  • The manuscript must be submitted in pdf format only and the file size of y our manuscript should not exceed 10 MB.
  • Authors can additionally submit supplimentary material (movies in avi, mov format, images in jpg, png and tif formats or additional text in pdf format). Total size of all supplementary material should not exceed 10 MB.
  • Since the review process is double blind, the identity of the authors must not be revealed either directly or indirectly any where in the manuscript or the supplementary material. Authors should NOT fill their names, emails, affiliation, etc. in the space provided in the templates when preparing the manuscript for review.
  • The paper ID must be included in the manuscript before uploading it on the portal. Instructions for acquiring the paper ID are provided below.
  • Use a proper tool to convert the resulting source into a pdf document that has only scalable fonts with all fonts embedded.
  • 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 display ing or printing the pdf.
  • The pdf manuscript must not have Adobe Document Protection or Document Security enabled.

Instructions for Uploading Manuscripts

  • The manuscript has to be uploaded online at the Microsoft CMT submission portal. Click here to access the portal.
  • Before uploading the manuscript the author must create an account by registering/signing-up at the portal. The authors will need to enter their contact details and affiliations while registering. Once an account is created you can login to the system and enter the author console, where you can create a new submission, or view and edit an existing submission.
  • When accessing the account for the first time, the author will be asked to provide conflict domains, without which he/she will not be able to create or edit submissions.
  • While creating a new submission the author will be asked to provide the paper title, abstract, subject areas and details of the co-authors (if any ).
  • To acquire the paper ID when creating a new submission, the authors should click the submit button on the same page where they will provide the title, abstract and subject areas. Note that authors do not need to upload the manuscript to acquire the ID. Authors will be re-directed to the author console, where they will find their paper ID. This ID must be entered in the manuscript (in the space provided below the title), which can then be uploaded by editing the paper submission from the author console.
  • Once the manuscript is uploaded, the submission procedure is complete except for the optional supplementary material.
  • Authors can edit manuscript-related information and re-upload the pdf manuscript any number of times before the final paper submission deadline, by editing the paper submission on the author console.
  • The co-author accounts are created if their email ids are included during any paper submission by the corresponding author. Co-authors can access their account by resetting their password using the reset password link. This enables them to view, edit and create submissions.
  • Authors can use the reset password link on the CMT portal in case they lose their password.
  • A single account can be used for submitting multiple papers. The above procedure has to be repeated for each new submission.
