\textit{
This sheet is an example of how your manuscript should look like. To ensure a uniform appearance in the proceedings, authors are requested to conform to the directions below. The camera-ready manuscripts for accepted papers
will appear in the proceedings in the same size and style.

\section{General Instructions}
\subsection{Note for authors}
The paper must follow these instructions.
\begin{itemize}
\item[(1)] \textcolor{red}{\textbf{MVA review is double-blind.}} All papers submitted for review must maintain anonymity, by eliminating any information that could possibly identify the authors ({\it e.g.}, your name, affiliation, address, {\it etc.}). Authors can leave citations to their previous work unanonymized, but they should cite their own work in the third person ({\it e.g.}, “[17] found that…”).
\item[(2)] Page limit is 4 pages, excluding references. Papers should be printable on A4 paper.
\item[(3)] MVA 2025 does not consider a paper on arXiv.org as dual submission.
\end{itemize}

\end{figure}
\subsection{Language}
All manuscripts must be in English.
\subsection{Formatting your paper}
Manuscript must be typed on A4-size papers---210 mm by 297 mm. Print single-spaced text in two columns on each page. Text area should be adjusted to the following dimensions: top and bottom margins are both 25.4 mm; left and right margins are 18 mm; and column spacing is 8 mm. Fill each column from the top of the page except for the first page.
\subsection{Type-style and fonts}
Wherever Times is specified, Times New Roman may also be used. If neither is available on your PC, please use any available font that is closest in appearance to Times. A manuscript should be formatted as follows:
\begin{description}
\item[Title:]
The main title should be centered over both columns and should be in Times 16-point, boldface type. Capitalize the first letter of nouns, pronouns, verbs, adjectives, and adverbs; do not capitalize articles, coordinate conjunctions, or prepositions (unless the title begins with such a word). Long titles may be typed in two lines.
\item[Author Information:]
Leave one blank line after the main title, and then enter the full names of the authors, followed by their affiliations. Addresses and E-mail addresses help to contact authors. Type in Times 12-point, non-boldface type. Leave two blank lines after the author information. \textcolor{red}{{\it Leave this area blank when submitting a paper for review.}}
\item[Abstract:]
The abstract is typed in fully-justified text in 10-point italic, single-spaced, at the top of the left-hand column, below the author and affiliation information. Use the word ``{\bf Abstract}'' as the title, in 12-point Times, boldface type, centered relative to the column, initially capitalized. The abstract is up to 200 words. Leave at least one blank line after the abstract, and then begin the main text.
\item[Section Heading and Text:]
Text follows just after the abstract. Type main text in 10-point Times, single-spaced. Section headings should be Times 12-point boldface, initially capitalized for each words, flush left. Subsection headings should be Times 11-point boldface, initially capitalized only for the first word.
\item[Figures and Tables:]
Figures and tables should be centered. Figure caption should be centered, 10-point Times, and placed below the figure. Table caption should be typed as those for figures, except it should be placed just above the table.
\end{description}

\begin{description}
\item[Acknowledgments:]
The acknowledgment section follows the main body. Please do not include acknowledgment before acceptance.
\item[References and Citations:]
List and number all bibliographical references in 9-point Times, single-spaced, at the end of your paper. When referenced in the text, enclose the citation number in square brackets, for example\cite{IMR}. Where appropriate, include the names of editors of referenced books.
\item[Appendices:]
Appendices may follow the references. Index appendices by letters or numbers in sequence, and provide informative titles.

\section{Page Limits and Maximum File Size}
Page limit is 4 pages, excluding references, and papers should be printable on A4 paper. The submission file should not exceed 20 MB.
\section{Supplemental Materials}
Supplementary material (images, video, etc.) may optionally be submitted with papers, but be sure to maintain anonymity, including the file properties or other hidden text. The supplemental materials have a file size limit of 50 MB. The supplemental materials will not be part of the conference proceedings, so they are only there to aid the reviewing process and award selecting process. Reviewers are not required to view the supplemental material (though most reviewers are likely to do so), so any information critical to understanding the work should be in the main paper. Note that all of the additional materials must be submitted as one pdf or zipped file.
\section{Producing and Testing PDF Files}
We recommend that you produce a PDF version of your submission well before the submission deadline. Besides making sure that you are able to produce a PDF, you will need to check that (a) the length of the paper remains within the page limit, (b) the file size is 20 MB or less, and (c) the file can be read and printed using the latest Adobe Reader. Concerning (c), you must embed all necessary fonts into your PDF file (i.e., only Type 1 or Embedded TrueType fonts are allowed.) With the Adobe Reader, you can check that all fonts are embedded properly by navigating to the Document Properties $\rightarrow$ Font in the Menu.
% After embedding, check the file again according to the following procedure if you use Adobe Reader, for example.
