The British Machine Vision Conference (BMVC) is one of the major international conferences on computer vision and related areas. It is organised by the British Machine Vision Association (BMVA). The 36th BMVC will now be an in-person event from 24th—27th November 2025 in Sheffield, UK.

Authors are invited to submit high-quality papers in image processing, computer vision, machine learning and related areas for BMVC 2025. Submitted papers will be refereed on originality, presentation, empirical results, and evaluation quality. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings published and DOI-indexed by BMVA. Past proceedings are online at the BMVA proceedings website.

Please note that BMVC is a single-track meeting with oral and poster presentations. The paper submission deadline will be on the 16th of May 2025. Submitted papers should not exceed NINE pages (references are excluded), and appendices should be submitted via the supplementary information. You can find further information in the Author Guidelines and Submit your Paper pages.

The submission portal will be available from late-April, 2025.

Topics include, but are not limited to:

3D from X
3D Shape modeling and processing
Action and event understanding
Adversarial attack and defense
Architecture and Space Design
Biometrics
Brave new ideas (not beating SOA but a new appraoch, theory, niche)
Computational Photography and Photogrammetry
Computer vision theory
Datasets and Evaluation
Deep learning architectures and techniques
Document analysis and understanding
Embodied vision: Active agents; simulation
Explainable AI
Fairness, privacy, ethics, social-good, transparency, accountability in vision
Generative models
Humans: Face, Gestures, Pose and Body Movement
Human-in-the-loop computer vision
Image Retrieval
Low-level and Physics-based Vision
Machine learning (other than deep learning)
Medical and Biological Image Analysis
Motion estimation and tracking
Multimodal learning
Recognition for X
Representation Learning
RGBD sensors and analytics
Scene Analysis and Understanding
Segmentation, grouping and shape analysis
Self-, semi-, meta-, unsupervised learning
Transfer, low-shot, continual, long-tail learning
Video analysis and Understanding
Vision and audio
Vision and graphics
Vision and language
Vision and robotics
Vision applications and systems
Visual reasoning and logical representation

Papers submitted under the “Brave new ideas” subject area are expected to move away from incremental benchmark gains. Proposed ideas should radically differ from the current research strand or propose a novel problem.
Reviewing Process for BMVC 2025

Each paper will be reviewed by at least three reviewers. The Area Chair will provide a meta-review, summarising the reviewers’ points and recommending paper decisions.

Please Note: Due to the anticipated volume of papers for BMVC 2025 (based on recent year’s experience), there will be NO extension granted to the submission deadline. In keeping with conferences in the field (e.g., NeurIPS, CVPR) and to cope with the increasing number of submissions, we ask that all authors be prepared to review papers. The submission site will ask authors to acknowledge this commitment, and failure to engage with the reviewing process might be grounds for rejection.

Further information about the reviewing process can be found at the Reviewing policies.

Any queries to the Programme Chairs should be sent to pc_email.
