Virtual conference website

  1. How will the virtual conference website work?
    • We will use a customized version of the Mini-Conf system. You can visit BMVC 2020 website to see how it works.
      • Paper list will show the thumbnail image with its title and authors.
      • Each paper page will include its presentation video (SlidesLive) and an embedded text chat for asynchronous communication. Also it will have a link to live meeting, paper PDF, supplemental, and code.
    • The spotlight videos will be bundled as a single video (or playlist) to provide a fast forward of all the papers in a session.

File uploading

  1. How do I submit the multiple files to CMT?
    • The upload field allows for uploading four to five files. Please use this dialog to separately upload the following resources:
      1. Camera ready XXXX.ZIP
      2. Copyright form XXXX-copyright.PDF
      3. (Optional) Supplemental material XXXX-supp.PDF or XXXX-supp.ZIP
      4. Spotlight video (1 min) XXXX-spotlight.MP4
      5. Thumbnail image (up to 500×250 px) XXXX-thumbnail.PNG

Camera ready

  1. Where can I find the camera ready style file?
    • Please download it from here (Instruction for Oral & Poster Authors page).
  2. Can we change the title?
    • Yes, but please be sure to match the information in the submission system (CMT) and the camera ready source files.
  3. Can we change the author list?
    • No.
  4. Where can we pay the “publication fee”?
    • This instruction was wrong.  No publication fee is required, but one registration is needed for one paper. 
  5. Can we adjust the spacing?
    • No. You should not change the format and/or the spacing.
  6. Where can we upload the Copyright form?
    • Please upload via the submission system (CMT).
  7. How do I submit the multiple files to CMT?
    • The upload field allows for uploading four to five files. Please use this dialog to separately upload the following resources:
      1. Camera ready XXXX.ZIP
      2. Copyright form XXXX-copyright.PDF
      3. (Optional) Supplemental material XXXX-supp.PDF or XXXX-supp.ZIP
      4. Spotlight video (1 min) XXXX-spotlight.MP4
      5. Thumbnail image (up to 500×250 px) XXXX-thumbnail.PNG

Spotlight and presentation videos

  1. Does a poster paper need to prepare both the presentation and the spotlight videos?
    • Please upload both the spotlight (1 min) and the presentation (10 min) videos regardless of oral or poster.
  2. Can I use SlidesLive to record the spotlight video?
    • Short answer is NO. SlidesLive accepts only one video for your 10 minutes presentation. Technically you may use SlidesLive recorder to record another 1 minute video and extract it as MP4 to upload it via CMT as your spotlight video.  However, again, please do not send it to SlidesLive. It will be used as your presentation video mistakenly.

Thumbnail image

  1. How will the thumbnail image be used?
    • It will appear in the virtual conference website with your paper title and the author names.  Please open BMVC 2020 website to see how it works.

Publicity

  1. Can we announce that our paper has been accepted at this point?
    • Yes.

Oral/Poster

  1. My paper is accepted as a poster. Do I need to prepare a poster?
    • No. You do not need to prepare a poster. Your presentation will be done by text chat and live video meeting with screen sharing. You can, of course, use a poster-like single page slide in your video meeting if you prefer.
