Multi-Endoscope Dataset for 3D Perception
iMED2026 is a MICCAI/EndoVis challenge on synchronized multi-endoscope data, with relative pose estimation and deformable novel view synthesis tracks for endoscopic 3D perception.
Challenge site
Colonoscopy Localization and Mapping Benchmark
CLiMB2026 is an unpublished benchmark under development for colonoscopy localization and mapping. Public dataset access, paper details, and benchmark statistics will be added after organizer review.

Surgical Visual Understanding Dataset Series
SurgVU focuses on large-scale surgical video understanding. DCA-MI highlights it as a dataset case study for real-world video curation and evaluation.

Full papers in ECCV LNCS format. All submissions are reviewed via a standard double-blind OpenReview workflow by a dedicated program committee. Conflicts of interest are handled per ECCV workshop policies. Accepted papers are included in the workshop program for poster presentation.
Full papers, extended abstracts, and dataset or benchmark papers are welcome.
Papers already published and peer-reviewed at major computer vision, machine learning, medical imaging, robotics, or clinical AI conferences or journals. Submissions are not re-reviewed — the main criteria are topical fit and poster-board availability. Authors submit a link to the paper via the workshop’s OpenReview page.
Original Work: ECCV 2026 LNCS author kit — max. 14 pages excluding references (figures and tables included). Additional reference-only pages are allowed. See the ECCV submission policies.
Published Work: no reformatting — submit the camera-ready version as published at the original venue, plus a link on OpenReview.
Follow the ECCV 2026 submission policies — double-blind anonymization, no author-identifying links, dual-submission rules, and completed OpenReview profiles.
Original Work: double-blind peer review via OpenReview, one round, no rebuttal. Published Work: topical-fit screening only, not re-reviewed.
Poster presentation at DCA-MI 2026. A subset of Original Work papers may be invited for oral presentation.
Document source, consent, licensing, and coverage limits. Submissions with unclear protected-data handling may be desk-rejected.
