We solicit proposals for short courses and tutorials to be held at the 2019 International Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (ICCV 2019). Courses and tutorials will take place on October 27, 28 and November 2, the days before and after the main conference.

A ICCV short course or tutorial should aim to give a comprehensive overview of a specific topics 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 computer vision community. Typical tutorial audiences consist of graduate students studying computer vision, but also include researchers and practitioners from both academia and industry. We invite proposals for both half-day and full-day courses, but anticipate that most courses will be half-day unless the topic is expected to attract widespread community attention or will require the additional time.

For more information about typical tutorials and short courses, we encourage potential proposers to refer to the following tutorial sites from recent major computer vision conferences:

• ECCV 2018: https://eccv2018.org/program/workshops_tutorials/
• CVPR 2018: http://cvpr2018.thecvf.com/program/tutorials
• ICCV 2017: http://iccv2017.thecvf.com/program/tutorials

Proposals should be submitted by February 23, 2019 (11:59 PM Pacific Time).

Proposals should be in a single PDF file and should include the following information:

• Proposed title;
• Proposers' names, titles, affiliations, emails, and brief bio sketches;

• Expected target audience, in terms of both composition and estimated number of attendees;
• List of citations and/or URLs to relevant publications and/or products by the organizers, and to other relevant related work;
• A description of how this proposal relates to tutorials/short courses appearing at CVPR, ICCV, and ECCV within the last three years;
• Description of and/or links to any planned materials or resources to be distributed to attendees.
