Call for Papers

The ICCV 2025 Workshop on Foundation and Generative Models in Biometrics invites submissions of original research papers exploring the development, application, and evaluation of foundation and generative models in biometric recognition, analysis, and security. Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of ICCV Workshop.

Topics of interest

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

• Foundation and Generative Models for:
  • Biometric Recognition,
  • Face, Gesture, and Biometric Analysis,
  • Deepfake Generation and Detection,
  • Attack Generation against Biometric Systems,
  • Biometric Security and Attack Detection,
  • Template Security.
• Generating Synthetic Image/Video of Face, Human Body, Fingerprint, Iris, etc.
• Large Language Models, Reasoning, and Interpretability for Biometrics.
• Privacy and Ethical Aspects of Applying Foundation Models to Biometrics.

Submission Guidelines

Paper formatting: Papers are limited to eight pages, including figures and tables, in the ICCV 2025 style. Additional pages containing only cited references are allowed. Please download the ICCV 2025 Author Kit for detailed formatting instructions.

Papers that are not properly anonymized, or do not use the template, or have more than eight pages (excluding references) will be rejected without review.

Submission and review process: Review process is double-blind. We will be using OpenReview to manage submissions. Similar to the review process for ICCV 2025 conference, submissions under review will be visible only to their assigned members of the program committee. The reviews and author responses will never be made public, and we will not be soliciting comments from the general public during the reviewing process.

Anyone who plans to submit a paper as an author or a co-author will need to create (or update) their OpenReview profile by the paper submission deadline. We recommend you to use Institution emails to register your account on Openreview, as non-institution emails can take upto two weeks to register. By submitting a paper to this workshop, the authors agree to the review process and understand that papers are processed by the OpenReview system to match each manuscript to the best possible area chairs and reviewers.

OpenReview author instructions can be found here.

Submission Process

All submissions should be made through the workshop’s OpenReview portal: https://openreview.net/group?id=thecvf.com/ICCV/2025/Workshop/FoundGen-Bio

Best-Reviewed Papers: IEEE-TBIOM Special Issue

All accepted papers will be published as part of the official ICCV 2025 workshop proceedings. In addition, the authors of the best-reviewed papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their paper to a special issue in the IEEE Transactions on Biometrics, Behavior, and Identity Science (IEEE-TBIOM).
