For oral presentations

Oral presentations will be up to 15 minutes long + 5 minutes for questions and answers. The master computer will be used for presentations. The screen format is 16:9 (wide). There will be audio equipment at the Hall. The presentation files (ppt, pptx or pdf) will be collected via USB sticks before start of the oral session to smoothly manage the presentations.

FOR POSTER PRESENTATIONS

Each poster should be announced by an author/presenter in a brief 5 min oral talk (Speed session before the corresponding Poster session) with a multimedia presentation (in ppt, pptx or pdf). 4-6 slides per poster are suitable for the Speed session.

The poster boards are 120 cm (width) by 140 cm (height). As paper size, A0 in portrait (vertical) orientation should be preferred. The posters should be mounted during the coffee break. Poster presenters are required to be present at their poster board during the assigned time of their poster presentation.

Poster presentation tips (a shortened version of CVPR tips): Ideally you want to keep it very readable. Do not use smaller fonts than 44 pt. When inserting graphics or equations, please keep the resolution high. If you can see blocking artifacts at 200% magnification in PowerPoint, consider finding better graphics. Leave enough margin for pushpin and remember many big plotters cannot get within .5” of the actual paper edge. You are free to use colored backgrounds and such but they generally reduce readability. You are free to use whatever fonts you like. San Serif fonts like Arial are more readable from a distance. The poster should use photos, figures, and tables to tell the story of the study. For clarity, present the information in a sequence that is easy to follow. There is often way too much text in a poster. Posters primarily are visual presentations; the text should support the graphics. Look critically at the layout. Some poster 'experts' suggest that if there is about 20-25% text, 40-45% graphics and 30-40% empty space, you are doing well. Don’t try to just put all the paper here, put the interesting visuals and use them to present the work.
