Author Kit

• Regular papers, special-session papers, and satellite workshop papers must consist of a complete description of original ideas and applicable results in a maximum of 5 pages for technical content, including figures and possible references, and with one additional optional 6th page containing only references.
• Submit the paper electronically.
• We require all authors to submit their PUBLISH-READY papers through PDF Xpress at https://ieee-pdf-express.org/account/login for checking paper’s formatting setting, before submitting them to Ex Ordo Paper management system. Authors must use 61757X as the Conference ID for PDF Xpress.
• Copyright will be collected later in the process during the Final Camera Ready file collection.
• Check the Ex Ordo paper management system for the status of your paper.
• Paper submissions will be reviewed by experts selected by the conference committee for their demonstrated knowledge of particular topics. The progress and results of the review process will be posted on this website, and authors will also be notified of the review results by email.
• If your paper is accepted, it will be assigned to either a lecture or a poster session by the program committee. Prepare a lecture or poster presentation accordingly, following the guidelines which will be published later.
• All papers accepted to ICIP 2026 will be published 30 days prior to the first day of the conference and will be freely accessible and downloadable by all in the final format until the end of the final day of the conference.

The review process is being conducted entirely online. To make the review process easy for the reviewers and to ensure that the paper submissions will be readable through the online review system, we ask that authors submit paper documents that are formatted according to instructions included here.

All authors of submitted papers will be considered as prospective reviewers and invited to complete their reviewer profiles and select their areas of review expertise determined by the EDICS system.

Papers may be up to 5 pages for technical content, including figures and references, and one optional 6th page containing only references.

Papers must be submitted by the deadline. There will be no exceptions.

Accepted papers MUST be presented at the conference by one of the authors. One of the authors MUST register for the conference at one of the author rates offered, and MUST register before the deadline given for author registration. Failure to register before the deadline will result in automatic withdrawal of your paper from the conference proceedings and program. A single registration may cover up to four (4) papers.

Important dates are listed at: https://2026.ieeeicip.org/important-dates/

Please make sure to include the conference name (ICIP 2026) and your paper submission ID on all correspondence. The paper submission ID can be found on your submission receipt, which you received from the Ex Ordo paper management system after completing your submission.

Additional questions regarding the submission of papers should be directed by email to [email protected] including “ICIP 2026” in the subject line.

Please read the following instructions carefully before preparing a paper for submission. Failure to follow all instructions below will result in an automatic rejection of the paper.

1. The double-blind review process requires that each submitter upload two versions of their paper:
   1. A PDF version of the paper for double-blind review – no authors’ names, affiliations, institutions, funding sources, acknowledgements, etc., in the text and no identifying attributes in the PDF file information (available by selecting “Properties…” in the File menu in Acrobat Reader). If the paper includes an Acknowledgements section, the text in that section must be removed to satisfy this requirement; the section title may remain to preserve paper formatting. This text must be deleted and removed from the paper; text color changes or other redaction methods to obscure text will not be permitted.
   2. A PDF version of the paper for inclusion for publication in the proceedings (exactly the same paper as in (a), but with authors, affiliations, funding sources, acknowledgements, etc., included). Other than these differences, the content and text of two versions must be identical.
      The author’s details submitted to the paper management system directly will be hidden from the Reviewers ensuring a double-blind review process.
2. Authors must not use more than two (2) self-citations in the reference list. Note that self-citations include any references authored by any of the coauthors. Authors must cite work only available in the open literature with an official publication date at least 15 days prior to the submission deadline. Work in review or on schedule to be published does not qualify as being in the open literature.
3. Authors must avoid referring to their own work in the first person context in the submission text. As one example, authors should NOT describe their prior work with phrases like:
   “Previously [3], we presented an antenna that…”
   Instead, authors should refer to their work in the third person, for example:
   “Previously, Chen [3] presented an antenna that…”
   In this way, the full citation to Chen [3] can still be given, for example:
   [3] Chen, J., “Analysis of antenna with …
4. Regarding reference lists:
   1. Authors must NOT remove the entire reference list;
   2. Authors must NOT leave out any references;
   3. Authors must NOT replace the text of reference listings with anything that could indicate the reference refers to their prior work
   4. All author names must appear for papers in the reference list. Shortening a reference citation with “et al.” is not permitted in the reference list.
5. Authors must prepare their submissions (both blinded and regular versions of the paper) as required by the regular paper submission guidelines regarding document formatting and style.
6. Authors must be careful to avoid self-plagiarism. Consistent with IEEE and SPS Policies for conference and journal papers the submission must present substantially new work when compared with any other material submitted to, presented at, or published in other conferences or journals by any of the coauthors. Self-plagiarism will result in the removal of the paper from the publication.

Please use the PDF Xpress in your paper preparation before uploading it to the Ex Ordo paper management system to make sure it adheres to the formatting guidelines below.

Use the following guidelines when preparing your document:

LENGTH: You are allowed a total of 6 pages for your document. Up to 5 pages may contain technical content, figures, and references, while the 6th page may contain only references. This is the maximum number of pages that will be accepted, including all figures, tables, and references. Any documents that exceed the 6 page limit or have a 6th page containing anything other than references will be rejected without review.

LANGUAGE: All proposals must be in English.

MARGINS: Documents should be formatted for standard letter-size (8-1/2″ by 11″ or 216mm by 279mm) paper. Any text or other material outside the margins specified below will not be accepted:

• All text and figures must be contained in a 178 mm x 229 mm (7 inch x 9 inch) image area.
• The left margin must be 19 mm (0.75 inch).
• The top margin must be 25 mm (1.0 inch), except for the title page where it must be 35 mm (1.375 inches).
• Text should appear in two columns, each 86 mm (3.39 inch) wide with 6 mm (0.24 inch) space between columns.
• On the first page, the top 50 mm (2″) of both columns is reserved for the title, author(s), and affiliation(s). These items should be centered across both columns, starting at 35 mm (1.375 inches) from the top of the page.
• The paper abstract should appear at the top of the left-hand column of text, about 12 mm (0.5″) below the title area and no more than 80 mm (3.125″) in length. Leave 12 mm (0.5″) of space between the end of the abstract and the beginning of the main text.

A format sheet with the margins and placement guides is available in the following file formats:

• PDF file (When you print this file, make sure the “shrink to fit” box is not checked!)

These files contain lines and boxes showing the margins and print areas. If you print one of these files, then stack it atop your printed page and hold it up to the light, you can easily check your margins to see if your print area fits within the space allowed.

TYPE:

Face: To achieve the best viewing experience for the review process and conference proceedings, we strongly encourage authors to use Times-Roman or Computer Modern fonts. If a font face is used that is not recognized by the submission system, your proposal will not be reproduced correctly.

Size: Use a font size that is no smaller than 9 points throughout the paper, including figure captions. In 9-point type font, capital letters are 2 mm high. For 9-point type font, there should be no more than 3.2 lines/cm (8 lines/inch) vertically. This is a minimum spacing; 2.75 lines/cm (7 lines/inch) will make the proposal much more readable. Larger type sizes require correspondingly larger vertical spacing.

TITLE: The paper title must appear in boldface letters and should be in ALL CAPITALS. Do not use LaTeX math notation ($x_y$) in the title; the title must be representable in the Unicode character set. Also, try to avoid uncommon acronyms in the title.

AUTHOR LIST: For the publish-ready version of the submission, the authors’ name(s) and affiliation(s) appear below the title in capital and lower case letters. For the blind/anonymous version of the submission, the author name section should be empty space. Proposals with multiple authors and affiliations may require two or more lines for this information. The order of the authors on the document should exactly match in number and order of the authors typed into the online submission form.

The LaTeX template has instructions for listing one or two authors. If you need to list more than 2 authors, please use the following structure:

\name{Author Name$^{\star \dagger}$ \qquad Author Name$^{\star}$ \qquad Author Name$^{\dagger}$}

\address{$^{\star}$ Affiliation Number One \\
$^{\dagger}$}Affiliation Number Two

ABSTRACT: Each paper should contain an abstract of approximately 100 to 150 words that appears at the beginning of the document. Use the same text that is submitted electronically, along with the author’s contact information.

INDEX TERMS (KEYWORDS): Enter up to 5 keywords separated by commas.

BODY: Major headings appear in boldface CAPITAL letters, centered in the column. Subheadings appear in capital and lower case, either underlined or in boldface. They start at the left margin of the column on a separate line. Sub-subheadings are discouraged, but if they must be used, they should appear in capital and lower case, and start at the left margin on a separate line. They may be underlined or in italics.

REFERENCES: List and number all bibliographical references at the end of the paper. The references can be numbered in alphabetic order or in order of appearance in the document. When referring to them in the text, type the corresponding reference number in square brackets as shown at the end of this sentence [2]. An additional final page (the fifth page, in most cases) is allowed, but must contain only references to the prior literature.

The end of the document should include a list of references containing information similar to the following example:

[1] D. E. Ingalls, “Image Processing for Experts,” IEEE Trans. ASSP, vol. ASSP-36, pp. 1932-1948, 1988.

ILLUSTRATIONS & COLOR: Illustrations must appear within the designated margins. They may span the two columns. If possible, position illustrations at the top of columns, rather than in the middle or at the bottom. Caption and number every illustration. All halftone illustrations must be clear in black and white. Since the printed proceedings will be produced in black and white, be sure that your images are acceptable when printed in black and white (the electronic, conference-distributed proceedings and the IEEE Xplore proceedings will retain the colors in your document).

PAGE NUMBERS: Do not put page numbers on your document. Appropriate page numbers will be added to accepted papers when the conference proceedings are assembled.

The following style files and templates are available for users of LaTeX and Microsoft Word:

• LaTeX style file with margin, page layout, font, etc. definitions.
• BiBTeX style file with bibliography style definitions.
• LaTeX template file, an example of using the “spconf.sty” and “IEEEbib.bst” files above.
• PDF generated from the template file.
• Sample strings.bib and refs.bib files.
• Sample image1.eps, image3.eps and image4.eps files, referenced in the LaTeX template.
• Word 97/2000 Sample, a template of correct formatting and font use.

We recommend that you use the Word file or LaTeX files to produce your document, since they have been set up to meet the formatting guidelines listed above. When using these files, double-check the paper size in your page setup to make sure you are using the letter-size paper layout (8.5″ X 11″). The LaTeX environment files specify suitable margins, page layout, text, and a bibliography style.

In particular, with LaTeX, there are cases where the top-margin of the resulting PDF file does not meet the specified parameters. In this case, you may need to add a \topmargin=0mm command just after the \begin{document} command in your .tex file. The spacing of the top margin is not critical, as the page contents will be adjusted on the proceedings. The critical dimensions are the actual width and height of the page content.

One-page abstracts will follow a single-blind review process. Authors will submit only a PUBLISH-READY pdf with all author information included, following the same templates and formatting guidelines defined for regular papers, except for the length, which must not exceed one page.

The review process will be performed from the ANONYMISED version of the electronic submission of your paper. To ensure that your document is compatible with the review system, please adhere to the following compatibility requirements:

The ‘IEEE Requirements for PDF Documents’ MUST be followed EXACTLY. The conference is required to ensure that documents follow this specification. The requirements are enumerated in:

• IEEE Requirements for PDF Documents v3.2 [PDF]

Papers must be submitted in Adobe’s Portable Document Format (PDF) format.
PDF files:

• must not have Adobe Document Protection or Document Security enabled,
• must have ‘US Letter’ sized pages,
• must be in first-page-first order, and
• must have ALL FONTS embedded and subset.

ALL FONTS MUST be embedded in the PDF file. There is no guarantee that the viewers of the paper (reviewers and those who view the electronic proceedings after publication) have the same fonts used in the document. If fonts are not embedded in the submission, you will be contacted by the Ex Ordo Paper team and asked to submit a file that has all fonts embedded. Please refer to your PDF file generation utility’s user guide to find out how to embed all fonts and use PDF Xpress while preparing your file.

Information for LaTeX users
PDF files with Postscript Type 3 fonts are highly discouraged. PDF files utilizing Type 3 fonts are typically produced by the LaTeX system and are lower-resolution bitmapped versions of the letters and figures. It is possible to perform a few simple changes to the configuration or command-line to produce files that use PostScript Type 1 fonts, which are a vector representation of the letters and figures.

For most installations of LaTeX, you can cause dvips to output Type 1 fonts instead of Type 3 fonts by including -Ppdf option to dvips. The resulting file will reference the Type 1 Computer Modern fonts, rather than embedding the bitmapped Type 3 versions, which cause problems with printers.

You may also need to tell dvips to force letter sized paper with the option: -t letter.

Some LaTeX installations also include pdflatex, which produces acceptable PDF files as well.

Authors will be permitted to submit a document file up to 200 MB (megabytes) in size.

Files uploaded by authors WILL NOT be renamed by the system. File names shouldn’t contain any personal information. Make sure all the authors and personal meta data is removed from the PDF file as well.

When you have your document file ready, gather the following information before entering the Ex Ordo papers submission system:

• ANONYMISED file (without author list) in PDF format
• PUBLISH-READY (with author list) file in PDF format checked by IEEE PDF eXpress® site
• For each author contributing to your submission:
  • Email address
  • First name
  • Last name
  • ORCID
  • Affiliation
  • Title/Prefix (optional)
• Paper title (Max 255 characters)
• Paper Abstract to be copy-pasted into the abstract box
• Up to 3 EDICS your paper is most closely related to (please refer to the ICIP 2026 EDICS list at the bottom of this page). In the Ex Ordo paper submission system, EDICS are called Topics.
• Up to 10 keywords of your choice describing the topic of your paper.

ORCIDs are mandatory for all authors. Please gather the ORCIDs for all authors ahead of time. You will not be able to upload your paper without a valid ORCID for each author. Papers that are not fully submitted (including ORCIDs) before the submission deadline will be excluded from the review process. Deadline extensions will not be granted.

To submit your document and author information, go to:

icip2026.exordo.com

The submission system will present an entry form to allow you to enter the submission format, EDICS or as called in Ex Ordo system topics (review category), paper title, abstract text, and author contact information as specified above.

Please note that the list of EDICS is very detailed. Please read through the entire list.

ALL authors must be entered in the online form, and must appear in the online form in the same order in which the authors will appear on the publish-ready PDF.

Each submission must have one corresponding author (usually the main author submitting the Paper) and at least one presenting author.

An individual must not be listed as author on more than 9 submissions in total.

You will need first name, last name, email address, ORCID and affiliation for each author. Each author can have only one affiliation in the online paper submission system.

The Ex Ordo paper submission system will display a page with the data that you entered so that you may verify its accuracy. The system auto-saves your progress as you enter the information. You can move between the steps in the workflow by clicking the “Done”/“Go to the next step” button.

You can move between steps in the submission workflow if you wish to make edits by clicking on the relevant step on the left-hand side.

To upload the file, select “Click or drop to upload a file” in the Step 5 – Paper Files of the submissions workflow.

Depending on the size of your file and your internet connection speed, this upload may take a few minutes. At the end of a successful upload, you will see a confirmation page displaying the paper title.

To complete the submissions workflow, click on “Done, Save submission”.

You and all authors will receive a submission receipt 15 minutes after the submission takes place. Please check your spam folder if you don’t see this receipt.

Submissions that are incomplete and are missing required information will be marked as Pending in the online submission system. You or any author can make edits and complete missing information up until the submission deadline.

If you encounter trouble, contact the paper submission support at: [email protected] or refer to the Ex Ordo Paper management system Help pages here – https://help.exordo.com/

Authors may submit supplemental materials alongside their papers, including images, video, datasets, codes, and software. Supplemental materials will be reviewed together with the paper and must therefore be submitted in ANONYMISED (double-blind) form. Providing comprehensive supplemental materials is encouraged to ensure that the work is reproducible by others and verifiable by reviewers. Supplemental content may also include additional text, such as detailed proofs, extended simulation results, or other supporting information.

Please note that ICIP papers must remain self-contained, presenting all core contributions clearly and concisely for the general readership. Supplemental material should be intended for specialists seeking deeper technical details, such as mathematical proofs of propositions discussed in the paper. It is recommended that the total length of supplemental text not exceed four pages.

Authors who would like to include supplemental materials with their submission, must upload them to the Ex Ordo paper management system. Supplemental materials can be uploaded in the “Supplemental materials” step of the initial submission workflow.

Upon paper acceptance, authors will be asked to upload the supplemental materials to IEEE SigPort. More information about this will be shared after the Review is completed.

In order to preserve the double-blind review process, authors may not post preprints of conference submissions until the review results have been announced.
Authors may post their preprints ONLY AFTER NOTIFICATION OF ACCEPTANCE, in the following locations:

• Author’s personal website
• Author’s employer’s website
• arXiv.org
• TechRxiv.org
• Funder’s repository*

This does not count as a prior publication. If copyright to the paper was transferred to IEEE through the completion of an IEEE Copyright Form before the preprint is posted, IEEE must be credited as the copyright holder with the following statement included on the initial screen displaying IEEE-copyrighted material:

“© 20XX IEEE. Personal use of this material is permitted. Permission from IEEE must be obtained for all other uses, in any current or future media, including reprinting/republishing this material for advertising or promotional purposes, creating new collective works, for resale or redistribution to servers or lists, or reuse of any copyrighted component of this work in other works.”

Upon publication of the paper, the paper’s Digital Object Identifier (DOI) should be added.

Complete information regarding posting of your paper is detailed at https://conferences.ieeeauthorcenter.ieee.org/get-published/post-your-paper/.

All accepted submissions must have an IEEE Electronic Copyright form submitted after the Review is completed.

The electronic copyright form is digitally linked to your submission; if you revise/update your paper’s title or author list, the copyright form will still apply. There is no need to submit a new copyright form.

After the acceptance is published and you’ve been notified about acceptance, the conference will open the Final submissions for the camera-ready document file collection. A step in this workflow is linked to the IEEE Electronic Copyright Form (eCF) system. That system will guide you through a series of questions to determine the type of copyright form required for your manuscript and will electronically record your signature. You will have the opportunity to download a PDF version of your electronically-signed copyright form. IEEE eCF system will send you a confirmation of the properly signed form, and you will also receive a final submission receipt from the Ex Ordo Paper management system after the completion of this workflow.

Your submitted paper will be visually inspected by our submission system staff to ensure that the document is readable and meets all formatting requirements to be included in a visually pleasing and consistent proceedings publication for ICIP 2026. If our submission inspectors encounter errors with your submitted file, they will contact you to resolve the issue. If your paper passes inspection, it will be entered into the review process. A committee of reviewers selected by the conference committee will review the documents and rate them according to quality, relevance, and correctness. Once all reviews have been received, authors will be invited to a rebuttal process. The conference cannot guarantee that all of the reviewers will provide the level of comment desired by you. However, reviewers are encouraged to submit as detailed comments as possible. If there appears to be a logistical error in the reviewer comments, such as the reviewer commenting on the wrong paper, etc., please contact ICIP 2026 at [email protected].

After you submit your document, and complete the submission process you will see the status of your submission appearing as Submitted in the paper management system. You will also receive a submission receipt 15 mins after the submission takes place. You can check the status of your paper as it progresses through the submission and review process by logging in to the paper management system at:

icip2026.exordo.com

The conference technical committee will use the reviews and authors’ rebuttal to determine which papers will be accepted for presentation in the conference. Authors will be notified of paper acceptance or non-acceptance by email as close as possible to the published author notification date.

All papers accepted to ICIP 2026 will be published on 13 August 2026 and will be freely accessible and downloadable by all in the final format from 13 August 2026 through 18 September 2026.

Be sure that at least one author registers to attend the conference using the online registration system available through the conference website. Each paper must have at least one author registered, with the payment received by the author registration deadline (see above) to avoid being withdrawn from the conference.

Please ensure you identify all of the papers your registration should be linked to when registering. You will be required to enter the submission IDs on the registration form. Submission IDs are visible in the paper management system and your email receipt.
