OVERVIEW

We are excited to announce a new edition of the SkiTB Visual Tracking Challenge, part of the CV4WS workshop at WACV 2026. This challenge focuses on tracking skiers' performances across multiple camera views in complex, real-world winter sports environments. Participants will design trackers capable of following a skier throughout a performance, starting with the bounding box in the first frame and localizing the skier in all subsequent frames.
The challenge leverages the SkiTB dataset, featuring: 300 multi-camera professional skiing videos; 352,978 annotated frames; Full HD videos in dynamic, snowy outdoor environments. This dataset offers a unique opportunity to test tracking models on complex scenarios typical of winter sports.

The authors of the best perfoming methods will be invited to write a paper that describes the solution (max 8 pages + references in the WACV template), and to present their solution at the 4th Workshop on Computer Vision for Winter Sports at WACV 2026. The papers of the top submitters will be reviewed and, if accepted, will appear into the WACV 2026 workshop proceedings.

IMPORTANT DATES

November 17, 2025: challenge open
December 10, 2025: submission due
December 22, 2025: paper with solution's description due

Workshop date:

March 6 or 7, 2026

PARTICIPATION

Detailed instructions on how to participate are available on the challenge page:

https://codalab.lisn.upsaclay.fr/competitions/20897
We encourage researchers and practitioners in computer vision to participate in this exciting challenge. Selected teams will be invited to present their solutions at the workshop, with opportunities for further publication in a special journal issue.

We look forward to your submissions!

Call for Applications: Visiting Professor Position in Machine Learning at Federal University of ABC, Brazil

The Federal University of ABC (UFABC) has opened a selection process for visiting professor positions,  including opportunities in the field of Machine Learning. These positions are part of the special program focused on “Internationalization at Home” through English as a Medium of Instruction (EMI). 
Visiting professors will teach and conduct research entirely in English and are expected to have strong pedagogical and linguistic competence for EMI. The role involves teaching undergraduate and graduate students, conducting research, and engaging in university extension projects.

Founded in 2006, UFABC is built on an interdisciplinary pedagogical model. Undergraduate students are initially admitted into Interdisciplinary Bachelor’s Degrees, such as Science and Technology, allowing them to explore different fields before specializing in a specific program, such as Computer Science or Data Science.

Despite being a young institution, UFABC has gained significant recognition and good performance at university rankings:

  • THE WUR 2020: #13 in Brazil
  • THE Innovation 2019 #1 in Brazil
  • THE Latin America 2019: #41 and #23 in Brazil
  • CWUR 2019: #29 in Brazil, #958 worldwide
  • U.S. News 2019: #10 Brazil; #8 World in international collaboration
  • RUF (Brazilian ranking) from 2013 to 2017: #1 in internationalization
    (Source: https://www.ufabc.edu.br/en/)
UFABC has campi in Santo André and São Bernardo do Campo, both located in the metropolitan region of São Paulo, Brazil.
For more details on the positions, requirements, and application process, please visit https://www.ufabc.edu.br/concursos/docentes/professor-visitante/edital-043-2025.  An English summary is attached at the end of this message. Applications will be accepted until 25th November 2025.
