ECCV 2022 - Wednesday

Good morning ECCV 2022! ECCV and RSIP Vision have once again partnered to bring this magazine to the community, showcasing some of the brilliant work being presented here in Tel Aviv . We saw some fantastic workshops and tutorials earlier in the week and a day of fascinating presentations and posters yesterday, with much more to come! We are thrilled to be hosting a top-tier conference of this magnitude and importance in Israel for the first time. We made a non-trivial decision only to allow in-person talks this year, and it has been exhilarating to see everybody back together again. We thank Ortra for doing a great job and help people attending by solving 230 visa-related issues. Out of 5,800 valid submissions, more than 1,600 papers were accepted, with 160 as orals. It was a monumental logistical effort to manage an army of 4,700 reviewers and almost 300 area chairs , but everyone did a phenomenal job navigating all the inevitable challenges. For many young students, ECCV 2022 is their first major in-person conference. We always advise students to attend independently rather than with the friends they see all year round. Figure out the most suitable papers to your taste, and don’t be afraid to engage with people. That’s the best part of the conference. New lifelong friends may be here waiting to talk to you! My (Tal) first conference was ECCV 2002 in Copenhagen, where I met a fellow Israeli student. Fast forward 20 years, and she is one of my closest personal friends. That person is Lihi Zelnik-Manor , one of our General Chairs. We came full circle as organizers of the same event, this time happening blocks away from the home I left to fly to Denmark all those years ago. Fast forward to 2042, and this could be your story! Finally, we want to give a shout-out to our fellow Program Chairs, Giovanni Maria Farinella and Gabriel Brostow . It’s been a group effort, but we all agree that without Gabriel in particular, we would not have been able to celebrate ECCV this year! We hope you all enjoy the conference as much as we’ve enjoyed putting it together for you. We wish you a very successful ECCV!
