The 2nd Workshop on Marine Vision is dedicated to advancing computer vision for understanding, monitoring, and assessing marine environments. Therefore, we invite short papers presenting novel concepts, groundbreaking ideas, or last-minute findings that warrant presentation at the workshop. The short papers should focus computer vision in the underwater domain or other vision applications related to the marine environment, including in-air monitoring and remote sensing.
All accepted short papers are to be presented with a poster at the workshop. Additionally, authors of accepted short papers will be invited to submit a full paper to the Springer-Nature Pattern Analysis and Applications Special Issue on Marine Vision.
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 31st, 2026 (11:59h, End of day, GMT)
Author notification: August 14th, 2026
Please note: In-person attendance at the poster session is mandatory for accepted short papers.
Submission
Paper Length: Short papers are limited to 6 pages, including figures and tables, in the LNCS style of Springer. Additional pages containing only cited references are allowed.
Review Process: Submissions undergo a double-blind peer review by the short paper ACs. 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 through OpenReview directly, without a camera ready-phase.
Supplementary material: No supplementary material is allowed.
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 6 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 their work 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
All accepted short papers will be invited to submit a journal paper on the topic to the Springer-Nature Pattern Analysis and Applications (PAA) Special Issue on Marine Vision.
