We solicit proposals for tutorials to be held at the IEEE Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision (WACV 2024). WACV 2024 is planned as an in-person conference to be held in Waikoloa, Hawaii, from January 4-8, 2024. Tutorials should be presented in-person

Accepted tutorials will be presented either on January 7th or January 8th.

Tutorials should aim to give a comprehensive overview of a specific topic closely related to computer vision. A good tutorial should be educational rather than just a cursory survey of techniques. The topic should be of sufficient relevance and importance to attract significant interest from the computer vision community. The audience for WACV tutorials typically consists of graduate students studying computer vision, but also includes researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry. We invite proposals for both half-day and full-day tutorials, but anticipate that most tutorials will be half-day, unless the topic is expected to attract widespread community attention or will require the additional time.

Proposals should be submitted in PDF format and should not exceed three pages (excluding biographies). All proposals must include the following information:

• Proposed title
• Proposers’ names, titles, affiliations, emails, and brief bio sketches
• Preference for half- or full-day event (the latter requires a brief justification)
• Course description with list of topics to be covered, along with a brief outline and important details; if relevant, include coordination plan among speakers
• Expected target audience and the estimated number of attendees
• List of citations and/or URLs to relevant publications and products by the organizers, and to other relevant related work
• Links to a few previous recorded talks given by the presenters (if available)
• Description of and/or links to any planned materials or resources to be distributed to the tutorial attendees
• A description of how this proposal relates to tutorials/short courses appearing at CVPR, ICCV and ECCV within the last three years
• Social impact of the tutorial (optional)

The proposals will be evaluated based on their educational value, interest and relevance, and the track record and expertise of the organizers / speakers. We especially encourage proposals involving diverse organizing teams and communities currently under-represented at WACV. We also welcome tutorial topics that address issues in Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Computer Vision applications.
