What WACV reviewers will look for
WACV runs two rounds. Round-1 papers get Accept, Revise and Resubmit (a revised paper plus one-page rebuttal returns to the same reviewers about two weeks later) or Reject; round-2 papers are accepted or rejected with no rebuttal. Reviewers argue strengths and weaknesses in detail and judge Applications papers on systems-level innovation, domain novelty and comparative assessment rather than algorithmic novelty alone.

Where the bar sits. WACV 2026 accepted 832 of 2,550 submissions (33%): round 1 38% (84 direct accepts, 439 of 736 revisions accepted), round 2 26%. No score statistics are public; on this modeled 1–5 scale a mean of ≥ 3.5 is a rough proxy for acceptance or a revise-and-resubmit invitation.
LLM policy for reviewers
WACV lists reviews generated by LLMs as highly irresponsible, which can lead to desk rejection of the reviewer's own papers.
