About
Many biological organisms have evolved to exhibit diverse behaviors, and understanding these behaviors is a fundamental goal of multiple disciplines including neuroscience, biology, animal husbandry, ecology, and animal conservation. These analyses require objective, repeatable, and scalable measurements of animal behaviors that are not possible with existing methodologies that leverage manual encoding from animal experts and specialists. Recently, computer vision has been making a significant impact across multiple disciplines by providing new tools for the detection, tracking, and analysis of animal behavior. This workshop brings together experts across fields to stimulate this new field of computer-vision-based animal behavioral understanding.

Call for Papers
We solicit non-archival papers on the related topics of CV4Animals. The selected papers will be presented in the poster sessions and potentially oral presentations during the workshop (will not be published in proceedings). We will provide a number of free conference and workshop registrations for the outstanding papers, thanks to our generous sponsors.
There are 2 submission tracks:
Track 1 (unpublished work): Paper must follow the CVPR format, and be limited to 4 pages plus additional pages for ethics statements and references only. Additional supplementary materials are allowed in a separate zip file, and must be submitted by the same deadline. Papers will be reviewed in accordance with the double-blind policy, based on relevance, significance, and novelty.
Track 2 (published work): We look for papers already published at a peer-reviewed venue within the last 2 years. A full paper can be submitted without a modification.
IJCV Invitation: The outstanding papers submitted to Track 1 will be invited to submit an extended version to the 2025 IJCV Special Issue on Computer Vision for Animal Tracking and Modeling. This invitation path is one of the measures we take to reduce revision cycles for the special issue.
Submission Deadline: 11:59 pm, March 28 April 4, 2025 (Pacific Time)
Notification of Decision: April 25 April 28, 2025
Submission: OpenReview (Track 1) and Google Form (Track 2)
