description	Use when preparing a WACV camera-ready after acceptance, covering de-anonymization, IEEE Xplore plus CVF open-access dual publication, IEEE copyright and PDF checks, the dataset and code release obligation, per-paper registration, and preparing the winter-conference talk or poster once a paper clears Round 1 or Round 2.

WACV Camera-Ready

Use this once a paper is accepted — at Round 1 outright or after the Round 2 decision — to turn the reviewed submission into the version of record. WACV publishes dually (CVF open access and IEEE Xplore), so camera-ready has both a CVF and an IEEE side. Facts are the WACV 2026/2027 cycles as read on 2026-07-09; confirm the exact camera-ready deadline, page allowance, and forms on the current Author Guidelines (some items are 待核实).

From reviewed PDF to version of record

Step	What changes	Watch for
De-anonymize	Add author names, affiliations, acknowledgements, funding	Do not also re-break a claim reviewers accepted
Incorporate final edits	Fold in required revision changes, fix typos	Stay within the page allowance (待核实 if extra page granted)
Add real links	Project page, code repo, dataset now permitted	These were banned at review — add them only now
IEEE + CVF forms	IEEE copyright, PDF validation, metadata	Author list and title must match OpenReview exactly
Registration	At least one author registers per paper	Miss it and the paper can be pulled

De-anonymize carefully

The camera-ready is the first time author identity, acknowledgements, funding, and real repository links are allowed. Add them — but do not use the de-anonymization pass to quietly strengthen a claim the reviewers accepted in weaker form; the accepted content is what was reviewed. Restore only identity and the links that review forbade.

Dual publication: CVF open access + IEEE Xplore

Where a WACV paper lands after camera-ready:
  CVF open access (openaccess.thecvf.com) → the accepted version, free, with a watermark
  IEEE Xplore                             → the version of record (indexed, citable)
Both come from the same camera-ready package; there is no article-processing charge, and the
conference is funded by registration. Cite the IEEE/CVF WACV proceedings, not an arXiv id.

Honor the release obligation

If a dataset or code was claimed as a contribution, the camera-ready is when it must be genuinely available: public repository, stated license, and (for datasets) any consent or collection basis documented. Turn the anonymous review artifact into the public release (see wacv-artifact-evaluation), and make sure the paper's links point to it.

Prepare the winter presentation

WACV is a winter conference (January 2027 window; exact dates/location 待核实). Once accepted, prepare the assigned format — poster or talk — and plan for the venue and travel. Because applications work is judged visually, a poster or talk that shows the system working under its real constraint lands better than one that only reports a table.

Reverify each cycle

• The camera-ready deadline and whether an extra page over the 8-page body is granted.
• The exact IEEE copyright / PDF validation steps and CVF metadata fields.
• Per-paper registration and in-person vs virtual presentation obligations (待核实).
• The dataset/code public-availability deadline.
