MaCVi @ CVPR 2026 included keynote talks, accepted paper and challenge discussions, and presentations around maritime computer vision, datasets, benchmarks, and deployable perception systems.
Find a short summary and workshop material below. Additional material will be added as it becomes available.
MaCVi @ CVPR 2026, Denver.
Workshop Slides
The workshop overview slides are available as Google Slides. Fiona Hua and Parneet Kaur's keynote slides are available here.
We had keynote talks spanning maritime autonomy, AIS reliability, scalable AV deployment lessons, and operational perspectives. Speaker information and abstracts are available on the keynotes page, and organizer information is available on the people page.
Fiona Hua and Parneet Kaur gave the keynote on what maritime autonomy can learn from large-scale autonomous vehicle deployment.
Marek Suchowski, catskill GmbH, gave the keynote on AIS coverage gaps, spoofing, and implications for computer vision models.
