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.
