Submission Instructions

We welcome full paper submissions. The papers must be no longer than 8 pages in total (excluding references). Please submit at the following CMT website:
ADFM 2026 CMT submission website.

• All submissions are handled via the workshop’s CMT website.
• Submissions should be made in PDF format and should follow the official CVPR 2026 template and guidelines.
• All submissions must be anonymous and conform to the CVPR 2026 conference guidelines for double-blind review.
• ADFM 2026 workshop follows the CVPR 2026 conference guidelines and does not allow dual submissions.
• Authors may upload optional supplementary materials, containing additional details, videos, images, etc. in a separate zip file (with a max of 50MB in size); the deadline for submitting these supplementary materials is the same as that for the main paper.
• The accepted papers will be presented as either an oral, spotlight, or poster presentation.
• By submitting a paper to the ADFM 2026 workshop for review, the authors must agree that at least one author or authors' representative of each accepted submission must present the paper at the workshop in-person and that they are willing and able to serve as the reviewers of the ADFM 2026 workshop submissions if needed (decided by the ADFM 2026 workshop organizing team).
• The presentation of accepted papers at our workshop will follow the same policy as that for the accepted papers at the CVPR 2026 main conference.
• The accepted papers will be made publicly accessible on the workshop website shortly after the camera-ready deadline. CVPR 2026 will provide the official proceedings of the accepted papers.
• Failure to comply with the aforesaid rules may cause the paper to be removed from the workshop program.

Submission deadline:       February 27 March 3, 2026 11:59 PM EDT (extended)  
Notification to authors:    March 20, 2026
Camera ready deadline:   April 10, 2026
