BMVC Paper Templates

This folder provides all the files necessary to produce both the review and final proceedings version of the paper.

Typesetting should preferably be done using the PDFLaTeX system (part of all modern LaTeX distributions). However, submissions prepared in Microsoft Word or OpenOffice will be accepted – but are discouraged.

All LaTeX class and support files are supplied in this git repository.

Two example template LaTeX files are also provided:

Review example PDF: bmvc_review.pdf
Final Proceedings example PDF: bmvc_final.pdf

Within these files there are details about preparing your paper for double-blind review and the formatting of the paper. PLEASE READ BOTH these files carefully.

They also illustrate how to produce both version of the paper from LaTeX.

Essentially to produce the review paper you must include the command:

\bmvcreviewcopy{??}

in the LaTeX preamble.

The ?? is the paper number your are assigned when registering your paper on the CMT submission web site: https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/BMVC2023

A word template is also provided: BMVC_MS_Office_2023_review.docx

More details on paper submission is at: https://www.bmvc2023.org/authors/submit-your-paper/

bmvctemplate's Issues

Why I can't use \cdot in tex?

Hi,
I am using template of BMVC2020, but I can't use \cdot. Do you know why?

Paper Length issue

Hello.
BMVC papers are supposed to be 9pages long(references excluded) however most BMVC papers I read are 10 pages long.
could you provide some details on that ?
Thanks

Tight margins on the "2009-2021" on-screen template and the ArXiv watermark

Hi BMVC/BMVA,

It is known that the BMVC on-screen template holds the industry standard for the tiniest margins.

Nowadays, most of us duplicating publications on ArXiv. After compilation, ArXiv automatically generates a watermark for all submissions which, in the case of BMVC templates, looks pretty awkward and causes an aesthetic discomfort:

Yikes!

I think the main reason why it was done historically this way is the argument of the screen size:

BMVCTemplate/bmvc2k.cls

Lines 208 to 214 in fdf6308

    
           % Proceedings: 
        
           % This format is designed with on-screen reading in mind.  This means that 
        
           % a single-column format is required, to avoid panning between text and 
        
           % figures.  However, a single-column format with very long lines wastes 
        
           % space and is hard to read, so this format uses a narrow page which is 
        
           % readable either 1-up on a low res monitor, or 2-up on a high-resolution 
        
           % display.

which might no longer be true as we have bigger and better screens now (see margins in CVPR [two columns], NeurIPS, ECCV templates). Also, PDF-reader programs were left to do the margin adjustments as explained later in the same file:

BMVCTemplate/bmvc2k.cls

Lines 216 to 222 in fdf6308

    
           % For printing, setting the PDF reader to an appropriate combination of 
        
           % centering, scaling, and number of pages yields a variety of useful 
        
           % formats, for example: 
        
           %   1-up, centred:  A format very like the old BMVC or Springer LNCS (ECCV). 
        
           %   1-up, scaled:   A large-print format, for the visually impaired. 
        
           %   2-up, scaled:   A compact paper-saving format without loss of font size. 
        
           % If we had kept the old margins, only the first of these is possible.

I was wondering if there are any plans to refresh the on-screen template a bit such that it would match the printing version by default (or, at least, to an extent preventing the ArXiv watermark from overlaying the title and author names):

Fail to show the complete author list

Hello, I have a paper with a long author list (12) authors. I used \addauthor to add all of them, but only the first 9 are shown in the pdf. Could anyone help about that?

Replace color package with xcolor package?

In the BMVC template the color package is used, which causes a lot of warnings when more advanced colornames are desired (eg when using Tikz). Is it an option to replace the color package in the template with xcolor?

Thanks for your consideration

Review paper header.

Hello.
When submitting the review paper, do we need to remove this header ?

if yes how to remove it ?
Thank you.

Rebuttal Template?

Do we have a latex template for rebuttal this year?

Differences among the templates

The word template seems different from the pdf and tex templates.

Assign an author as corresponding author

Hi,

May I know how to assign an author as corresponding author?

Thanks.

is there a template fo bmvc2023

i download the template in https://www.bmvc2023.org/authors/submit-your-paper/,it is still 2022 in line 005-006 and line 044-045
can i change the year in the template to 2023? or remain the same?

Assign an author several institutions/affiliations

Hi,

See subject: Is it possible to assign an author several institutions/affiliations?

From the latex code perspective:

\addauthor{Name}{email/homepage}{INSTITUTION_CODE}
\addinstitution{Name1\\Address1} %1
\addinstitution{Name2\\Address2} %2

I cannot figure out a working replacement string for the INSTITUTION_CODE, e.g.,
INSTITUTION_CODE := "1,2" -> not working

Thanks in advance for any hint!

Best,
Tian

subfigure package is deprecated

The subfigure package used in this template is deprecated, see the ctan site. Instead subcaption or subfig should be used.

Paper format for BMVC 2020

Hi!
How many sections of a paper are there for BMVC 2020? Is section of related work necessary? If my paper only contains the introduction, method, experiment and conclusion four sections is OK?
Thanks in advance for any hint!

Problem with subcaption and subfigure packages.

I just tried to use the package using subcaption and/or subfigure packages. I got multiple errors although the tex file was working properly in other latex templates e.g., ECCV, CVPR. Any thoughts?

I can't add a third institution when I have 3 authors.

Hello,

Adding a third institution makes the institutions disappear (the author's institution codes also disappear). Everything works fine when I use only 2 institutions.

Code example:

It works using 2 institutions:

% Enter the institutions
\addinstitution{Name1\\Address1}
\addinstitution{Name2\\Address2}
% \addinstitution{Name3\\Address3}

Adding the third institution makes all the institutions disappear

% Enter the institutions
\addinstitution{Name1\\Address1}
\addinstitution{Name2\\Address2}
\addinstitution{Name3\\Address3}

Note: First I had the same problem as here, so I followed this solution, but now I have the problem I mentioned.

Thanks in advance for any hint!

Edit: I found that the problem happens when I have the same number of authors and institutions.

Best,
Jhair
