Motion: In order to maintain WACV’s tradition of being receptive to applications papers:
Proposed by Scott McCloskey (Kitware) and endorsed by the TC chair.
– WACV PCs shall create a mechanism (such as a separate track) for authors to designate their submissions as applications papers;
– Both reviewers and meta-reviewers shall be instructed to consider submissions in accordance with this designation.
Submissions designated as applications papers shall not be rejected due solely to a lack of algorithmic novelty as long as the paper describes a distinct application that is consistent with the experimental protocol and/or datasets.
