The 2nd Workshop on Marine Vision is dedicated to advancing computer vision for understanding, monitoring, and assessing marine environments. We invite full papers focused on computer vision in the underwater domain but also encourage submissions from other vision applications related to the marine environment, including in-air monitoring and remote sensing.
Topics
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Underwater
- image enhancement and color reconstruction
- image formation models
- navigation and mapping
- 3D reconstruction of scenes
- calibration and parameter estimation
- long-tailed visual recognition
- multiple object tracking and behavioral analysis
- (Inverse) rendering and underwater scene representations
- physical models of reflectance and light transport, including multispectral or hyperspectral
- Marine
- indiscernible object counting (e.g., schools of fish, fisheries catch)
- species and size estimation on fishing vessels
- fine-grained classification of organisms
- foundation models
- environmental monitoring using remote sensing
- datasets and evaluation
- learning from limited data
- object detection and segmentation
- sensing beyond the visible spectrum
Important dates
The 2nd Workshop on Marine Vision is scheduled at September 8/9th (TBD), 2026 in Malmö, Sweden.
Submission deadline: July 13th, 2026 (11:59h, End of day, GMT)
Author notification: August 6th, 2026
Camera ready: August 13th, 2026
Please note: In-person presentation of oral talks and attendance at the poster session are mandatory for accepted papers.
Submission
Paper Length: Papers are limited to 14 pages, including figures and tables, in the LNCS style of Springer. Additional pages containing only cited references are allowed. More information can be found in the official guidelines.
Review Process: In line with ECCV 2026, submissions undergo a double-blind peer review by 2–3 expert reviewers. During the review process, submitted papers will be visible only to the assigned reviewers and members of the organizing committee. Reviews and submission content will remain strictly confidential and will not be publicly accessible. Additionally, we will not solicit public comments or open discussion on submissions during the review phase.
Archiving: Accepted papers will be published in the official ECCV 2026 workshop proceedings.
Supplementary material: It is possible to upload a .zip file or PDF with supplementary material. Please note that the maximum size of the file is 50MB.
Submission portal: Link to OpenReview submission page [TBD]
Please note: we do not implement the contribution types from the main conference.
Author guidelines
Papers should be formatted using the official ECCV 2026 author kit. Papers not using the template, not properly anonymized, or including more than 14 pages (excluding references) will be desk rejected without further review. All submissions must be original and not under concurrent review elsewhere.
Please note: all authors and co-authors planning to submit to the 2nd Workshop on Marine Vision must have an up-to-date OpenReview profile at least two weeks prior to the paper submission deadline.
Springer Special Issue on Marine Vision
Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended journal version of the workshop paper to the Springer-Nature Pattern Analysis and Applications (PAA) Special Issue on Marine Vision.
