I would suggest including xcolor inside cvpr.sty.

The current template:

1. loads xcolor inside the file preamble.tex;
2. uses it inside main.tex to define a CVPR-specific color;
3. uses that color inside the recommended hyperref options.

Given that the hyperref options are meant as part of the official template recommendations, whereas preamble.tex is meant mostly for helpful or paper-specific packages and macros (in the provided example, it's for only commenting macros), I think it would be better if xcolor were included inside cvpr.sty. That way, users can use the cvpr.sty template with its recommended hyperref settings, without needing to include the preamble.tex file or load xcolor separately.

why is the position of line numbers changed?(746 747 748 749 should be at left).
and i find this situation only appears at the bottom of page.

Hi,

I'd like to make a few suggestions for the template. Happy to make a pull request (or separate ones per each suggestion) if there is general agreement for the changes.

1. Configure cleveref so that it uses abbreviations consistently–either always or never abbreviate mid-sentence references. Right now, cleveref abbreviates "Sec." and "Tab.", but it doesn't abbreviate "Figure", "Algorithm", or "Equation". (References at the start of a sentence are already always unabbreviated, as they should be.)

2. Include microtype in the packages in cvpr.sty, which helps improve kerning and spacing. Personally I prefer to use it with the default settings, but opinions differ.

3. Include the "inline" option when loading enumitem in cvpr.sty. This makes it possible to use the enumerate* environment to easily and consistently produce inline enumerated lists, e.g., "We achieve this by 1. doing this; and 2. doing that."

4. Configure hyperref to use cvprblue for all links, by changing the current option citecolor=cvprblue to allcolors=cvprblue. Under the current settings, we end up with different colors for citations versus references to sections, equations, etc., versus URLs. The resulting rainbow of colors throughout the text ends up being very distracting.

5. Configure hyperref to automatically produce correct PDF metadata in the camera-ready PDF. This is already implemented in, e.g., the SIGGRAPH LaTeX template, meaning that final PDFs for SIGGRAPH papers automatically have correct titles, authors, etc.

Thank you very much for this nice looking Template.

I just realized, that with the CVPR 2024 templace, the 'flushend' package does not work any more (it works with the CPVR 2023 template). The package balances the references on the last page, which looks a bit smoother.

An alternative for that using the 'adjustbox' package, together with the \balance command, is also not working anymore.

It is probably not a big issue, but maybe you are aware of a workaround :)

Best,
Bjoern

While the template runs successfully on Overleaf, I have been experiencing consistent errors when trying to compile it locally on a Windows system. The error message is displayed as shown in the attached image. I consulted with other members of our lab who are also using Windows, and they reported encountering the same issue. However, when the template was tested on a Mac using TeXShop, it worked seamlessly.

Based on my observations, it seems that the current Latex template might not be fully compatible with Windows systems. I would appreciate it if you could kindly investigate this issue and possibly provide a resolution or guidance on how to work around it. @cr333

In the current cvpr.sty file, both the cite aswell as the natbib package are loaded:

\RequirePackage{cite}     % Automatically ordered citations
\RequirePackage[numbers,sort&compress]{natbib}

That yields a Latex error / warning:
Package natbib Warning: The 'cite' package should not be used with natbib. Use option 'sort' instead.

Is it safe to comment out the cite package?

Context: discussion started with Overleaf team about buggy linkback (double click PDF to be auto-redirected to source).
Overleaf team provided instructions to mimic emnlp2021.sty instead:

Hi, I am just wondering whether Word template will be provided for CVPR2024?
Word template was provided in the previous CVPR conference.

While preparing the rebuttal template for ECCV, I discovered that recent (and not so recent) CVPR templates do not properly center the text on the page. Interestingly, this is an issue that seems to have persisted for many years. Even papers from as far back as CVPR 2014 seem to exhibit this issue (see, e.g., this example). As can be clearly seen, the margin is bigger on the right than it is on the left. In 2013, everything was still fine (see, e.g., here).

I had a closer look at the margin specifications in the template and it seems that the calculation is off. In the current template the margin is set as:

\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-.304in}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{-.304in}

However, the text is 6 7/8 inches wide (official width) on a 8 1/2 inch sheet. This leaves 13/8 inches for both margins, making a 13/16 inch margin on each side. Given the 1 inch default margin of LaTeX, this means that the margins should be set as:

\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-.1875in}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{-.1875in}

And indeed, if I do that, everything looks nice and centered.

It would be great if someone could verify this observation and my margin calculation. If this checks out, I am happy to submit a pull request to address this issue in future conferences (or even in the CVPR 2024 camera readys).

The cite' package should not be used (natbib) with natbib. Use option sort' instead.

I get this error on Mac OS:

Removed this comment from end of \subsection{Miscellaneous} subsection of the author-kit, and converted it into an issue

% Update the cvpr.cls to do the following automatically.
% For this citation style, keep multiple citations in numerical (not
% chronological) order, so prefer \cite{Alpher03,Alpher02,Authors14} to
% \cite{Alpher02,Alpher03,Authors14}.

the citation goes wrong.


However, on Overleaf, everything is ok.

e.g.

Preamble

% CR: The following line fails in my standalone LaTex with the error
%     ! Missing \endcsname inserted.
%     I tried fixing it for half an hour but couldn't.
\defeditor{AT}{blue}

Body

\AT{While this is my comment}
\at{This is a sentence edited by me.}

Add this to style file:

% TODO
\newcommand{\defeditorcomment}[2]{%
  \iftoggle{foo}{%
    \expandafter\def\csname#1\endcsname##1{{\color{#2}[#1: ##1]}}%
  }{%
    \expandafter\def\csname#1\endcsname##1{{}}%
  }%
}
\newcommand{\defeditorinline}[2]{%
  \iftoggle{foo}{%
    \expandafter\def\csname#1\endcsname##1{{\color{#2}##1}}%
  }{%
    \expandafter\def\csname#1\endcsname##1{{##1}}%
  }%
}
\newcommand{\defeditor}[2]{%
    \defeditorcomment{#1}{#2}%
    \defeditorinline{\MakeLowercase{#1}}{#2}%
}

When I start a new Section with:
`\section{Introduction}

AAA

BBB`

The compiled pdf will have indent before BBB but not indent before AAA. How can I solve this?

It will help to move the instructions and the proposed paper structure outside of the templates and the styles branch into its own (e.g., cvpr-instructions).

The style should come with a minimal working example that loads the style and demonstrates it, without bloating it.

The instructions and the suggested structure for the paper could be on a different branch. When the author kit is released, the instructions and the style can be packaged for someone to download and use as they pleased.

This option has the advantage of giving users the ability to clone the style with minimal modifications. For instance, it is less space within a local texmf, or some other services that replicate this for the user (like overleaf).

Requirements
\usepackage{currfile}

Usage:

\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{fig/\currfilebase}
\caption{\textbf{Something} -- ...}
\label{fig:\currfilebase}
\end{figure}

Then a figure source fig/something.tex can be cited in text as \cref{fig:something}

If a paper has an appendix AFTER the references, AND is otherwise compliant, we will NOT desk-reject it for being overlength. We've taken this decision because our LaTeX template this year had confusing instructions that misled a number of authors.

Seems disabling it by default was not sufficient @sroth-visinf (you were right 😅)
Will have to think of a technical solution to leave the functionality without any chance for confusion.
(perhaps throwing a latex warning/error?)

Had to disable org restrictions, as otherwise github repo not accessible from Overleaf

Conversely, when I enable restrictions, and try to request access, this should create a "organization approval", but I can't see one in the page above?

@cvpr would you be able to release the name so we can use it to host CVPR-related material?

I want to add my motivation figure above the abstract, how to make it?

Is the first line of a paragraph not indented a required format?

Hi,

I'm trying to use PDF eXpress to generate my files from the template but I keep receiving:
LaTeX Error: Command \@EveryShipout@Hook already defined.
Do you know what might be the issue?

Thank you.

I'm trying to change biblography number for supplementary material.

I'm following this, but found out that the \usepackage[review]{cvpr} does not allow the biblography number changed.

How can I change it with cvpr package..?

Hi,

It seems that the commented code for changing the index of the first reference in the rebuttal.tex has no effect:

https://github.com/cvpr-org/author-kit/blob/main/rebuttal.tex#L36-L41

The references are still starting from 1. The piece of code seems correct in general, but it is somehow ignored because of something in the .sty or .bst files.
