Paper formatting. 

• The final paper should be formatted in LaTeX2e. Please download the ECCV 2004 paper package. It includes the LaTeX2e style, a paper template file and the copyright form. Make sure you use the provided template, not just an upgraded version of your first submission.
• Papers formatted in Microsoft Word will be accepted by Springer but we strongly discourage the authors from using it. Please follow Springer Instructions for Word Users carefully.
• Other word processor formats will not be accepted.
• Generate the paper in both PostScript and PDF:
  1. Use PostScript Level 1 or 2 in plain ASCII, without encoding or condensation. 
  2. Use PDF version 1.3 - 1.5 without passwords or encryption. We strongly recommend to create the PDF by Adobe Distiller, GhostScript, or pdftex
  3. All fonts must be embedded in the document:
     • Acrobat Distiller users use: Settings --> Fonts --> Embed all fonts
     • LaTeX users (TeX Live 7, 8) use:
       updmap --setoption dvipsDownloadBase35 true
       updmap --setoption pdftexDownloadBase14 true
     • LaTeX users (MikTeX) use: mkfntmap.exe
     • GhostScript users use:  ps2pdf -dPDFSETTINGS=/printer file.ps
  4. Make sure that all included PDF/EPS figures have all special fonts embedded or aliased for Acrobat Distiller/GhostScript.
  5. If possible, use only outline (Type 1 or TrueType) fonts, not bitmapped ones (Type 3). Recent TeX distributions such as TeX Live 7 or 8 contain a full set of Type 1 fonts as defaults. In TeX Live 6 use option  dvips -Ppdf file.dvi.

If you fail to follow these instructions your paper may be of reduced quality in the printed proceedings. If you are not sure about formatting your document properly, please contact us at eccv@cmp.felk.cvut.cz.

Camera-ready manuscript upload.  

The paper will be published both in printed proceedings and in CD-ROM electronic proceedings. The paper will be printed in monochrome unless you pay for the colour pages. If you wish to improve readability by adding more colour to the electronic proceedings version (at no charge), please follow the instructions below in Point 2. 

1. Version for print. Collect all  files necessary to generate the paper, i.e. (1) the tex-file(s) including any special style files you may have used, (2) all images and illustrations in PostScript and/or PDF, and the final document in (3) DVI (or Word doc file),  (4) PostScript and (5) PDF formats. Put all the contents in a directory named print_version. This version will appear in the printed proceedings. The source and the PostScript/PDF documents must be of identical contents. If applicable, specify your colour pages pages in a text file called colour-pages.txt.
2. Electronic version (optional). This is only necessary if a part of your paper has been converted to levels of gray in the version for print: Create one more directory at the same level named electronic_version and put all the files necessary to generate the electronic version there, including a PDF of the whole paper. Make sure both the version for print and the colour electronic version are identical in contents (up to colour).  The colour in the electronic version is at no charge.

Create a single gzipped tar-file or a ZIP archive file containing both directories. Submit it through the online submission system at

http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/eccv2004/submission.

Use the submission pin you received when submitting your paper for review. If you have any problems, please contact us at eccv@cmp.felk.cvut.cz.

Supplementary material upload.  If you wish to add any supplementary material (movies, VRML,...) to the electronic version of the paper, please add it to the electronic_version subdirectory. Add file supplement.txt that will contain: paper title, the list of authors, a short description of the material and a list of filenames that contain the additional material.  Please make sure the material  is provided in a format viewable across a wide range of computer platforms. The material is limited in size to 2.5MB per paper.
