AV2 2026 Scene Flow Challenge Announcement

The AV2 2026 Scene Flow Challenge is focused on longer range evaluations (up to 70m) and multi-dataset evaluations that encourage generalization across datasets. As part of this year’s challenge, we are once again using the scene flow evaluation protocol we introduced in 2024.

Challenge Details

Supervised and Unsupervised Tracks

Our challenge has two tracks: a supervised track and an unsupervised track. If you submit to the unsupervised track, you must submit a method that does not use any of the human labels provided by any of the datasets; however labels from other domains or shelf-supervised methods (e.g. Segment Anything) are allowed as part of developing your method.

CVPR 2026 Workshop on Autonomous Driving Highlighted Methods

For a submission to be considered highlight-eligible at the CVPR 2026 Workshop on Autonomous Driving, must

  1. Be submitted by May 31st, 2026
  2. Have a whitepaper (e.g. an arXiv preprint) describing the methodology in a reasonable amount of detail. Methods that are particularly innovative, novel, or suitable for real-world usage may be highlighted with additional recognition outside of the standard leaderboard ranking.

Winning teams will be highlighted in the workshop!

Submission Format

Submissions should be in the form of a zip file containing each sequence’s estimated flow. The details of the format are described in the BucketedSceneFlowEval repository and an automatic creation script is provided as part of the standalone SceneFlowZoo repository.

If you use our new Bucket Normalized EPE evaluation protocol as part of a publication, please cite I Can’t Believe It’s Not Scene Flow! and if you use the unified dataset training protocol or leaderboard ranking, please cite UniFlow.
