WasteVision 2026 – WACV 2026

WasteVision 2026 – International Workshop on Smart Waste Monitoring
The IEEE/CVF Winter Conference on Applications of Computer Vision 2026 Friday, March 6 - Tuesday, March 10, 2026 - Tucson, Arizona (USA)
Workshop Website: https://mivia.unisa.it/wastevision2026/ ========================
=== Important dates === Paper submission deadline: December 10th, 2025 (11:59 PM, AoE) Paper submission deadline for contest participants: December 15th, 2025 (11:59 PM, AoE) Decision notification: December 23rd, 2025 Camera-ready: January 9th, 2026 (11:59 PM, PT) ========================
=== Call for papers === The growing global concern around waste management, illegal dumping, and environmental pollution highlights the urgent need for intelligent monitoring solutions. Advances in computer vision, guided by the impressive progress in artificial intelligence technologies, offer promising opportunities to address these challenges. However, the scientific literature in this field points out that key research gaps remain, including the lack of robust detection methods for diverse environments, limited datasets and benchmarks, and the need for solutions that can be deployed in real systems with limited computational resources running in real time.  The International Workshop on Smart Waste Monitoring (WasteVision) will provide a unique forum for researchers and companies to present and discuss novel contributions in this emerging field. The workshop seeks to advance the state of the art in smart waste monitoring, illegal dumping detection, and environmental pollution surveillance while fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
We invite original research contributions in (but not limited to) the following areas: • Image analysis for waste detection and classification • Video analysis for waste tracking and management • Computer vision methods for detecting illegal waste disposal • Multimodal systems for dumping identification • Remote sensing and UAV-based waste monitoring • Video and image analytics for pollution tracking • Datasets and benchmarks for waste and pollution monitoring • Applications and case studies (real-world deployments in urban and rural contexts)
The workshop will also host the first edition of the Illegal Waste Dumping Detection (IWDD) contest (https://mivia.unisa.it/iwddcontest2026/), in which the participants will receive a novel dataset for training their approaches for illegal waste dumping detection: the methods will be evaluated on a private test set, in order to ensure a fair comparison on unpublished videos. We welcome scientific papers describing the methods and results obtained during the contest, including innovative approaches, system designs, and comparative analyses. 
We will accept the submissions of regular papers with more than 5 pages, whose template must follow the same formatting guidelines required by the main conference. All the accepted papers will be published in the proceedings alongside the main conference. More details are provided on the workshop website (https://mivia.unisa.it/wastevision2026/). The submission can be done through CMT https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/WasteVision2026.
