Common CVPR formatting errors
Updated 2026-06-02
CVPR, ICCV, and ECCV share a dense two-column vision-conference format with a strict page limit. The most common formatting problems are not exotic - they are over-wide figures, wide comparison tables, and float placement that wastes space you cannot spare.
Over-wide qualitative figures
Vision papers are figure-heavy, and qualitative-result grids are often sized for the full page. In two columns they overflow. Size them to \columnwidth, or use figure* for a deliberate full-width grid.
Wide comparison tables
Benchmark tables with many columns spill across the gutter. Wrap them in \resizebox or promote to table*. Avoid shrinking so far the numbers become unreadable.
Float placement near the page limit
With a hard page limit, whitespace from [H]/[h] placement directly costs you content space. Use flexible specifiers so LaTeX packs floats efficiently. See /cvpr-format-checker for a full check.
Frequently asked questions
Do CVPR, ICCV, and ECCV use the same format?+
They share the same dense two-column template and similar page rules, so the same formatting checks apply across all three.
