AIMS AND SCOPE

The primary goal of the Human-Inspired Computer Vision (HCV) workshop is 
to bridge the gap between machine perception and biological systems by 
integrating findings from neuroscience, psychology, and cognitive 
science. Although modern computer vision achieves impressive results in 
many tasks, it still lacks the robustness and contextual flexibility 
inherent to human vision, and the relationship between artificial and 
human vision remains unclear. Investigating such a relationship is 
timely and important for two reasons:


Improving machine vision: Insights from psychology, cognitive science, 
and neuroscience can inform current research towards developing computer 
vision models that operate in a human-like fashion. This 
cross-disciplinary approach can help us systematically identify and 
tackle the performance and generalization gaps between humans and 
machines in key research areas.


Understanding and enhancing human vision: Modeling biological vision is 
a hot topic in computational cognitive neuroscience. By developing 
interpretable computer vision models, we create powerful tools to 
explain neuroscientific and behavioral observations and to enhance human 
vision and cognition, e.g. in the presence of sensory or 
neurodevelopmental disorders.


TOPICS

We encourage the submission of research outcomes at the intersection of 
computer vision with neuroscience and cognitive science, as well as new 
dataset benchmarks related to the topics listed below.

IMPORTANT DATES

Regular PaperSubmission (Archival Track): June 26th, 2026(23:59 AoE)

Extended AbstractSubmission (Non-Archival Track): August 14th, 2026


SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

The workshop includes an archival trackand a non-archival track.Accepted 
papers of both tracks will be presented during the workshop.

Papers must be prepared according to the ECCV 2026 template and 
submitted as PDF documents, following ECCV Submission Policies.

At the time of submission, authors must indicate to which track the 
paper is submitted.

Only papers accepted to the archival track will be published in the ECCV 
workshop proceedings.
