5th Workshop on Maritime Computer Vision (MaCVi)

MaCVi @ WACV 2027

Challenges

MaCVi @ WACV 2027 will feature benchmark challenges spanning underwater and surface-based maritime computer vision. Tracks are being added as they're finalized — more datasets, metrics, timelines, and participation rules will be announced soon.

Stay tuned to this page and the MaCVi Discord community for challenge updates.

Challenges Overview

LOOKOUT
Maritime Visual Odometry
LOOKOUT: Maritime Monocular Visual Odometry

Estimate a boat-mounted camera's trajectory from RGB or thermal video, calibration and frame timestamps. The full development dataset is available: 92 RGB and thermal clips, with a public starter for local inference and evaluation.
EURS: Embedded Underwater Restoration and Segmentation

Restore degraded underwater images and segment marine life (background/coral/fish/elasmobranch/other). Two tracks are open: a public, self-serve Dev-set leaderboard, and an embedded track scored on real Jetson AGX Orin hardware that carries more weight towards final standings.
