*Overview*

The Physical Retail AI workshop in WACV 2026 connects researchers and 
practitioners interested in the way computer vision is shaping the world 
of retail. We are now accepting paper submissions and challenge 
participants.


_About the Physical Retail AI Workshop_:
This is the 3rd installment of the Physical Retail AI Workshop, which 
focuses on the unique challenges and opportunities that arise when 
applying computer vision and machine learning to the physical retail 
domain. This is the 3rd year of the workshop in WACV, building on top of 
successes in WACV 2025 and WACV 2024. In this year, we have new 
collaboration between*Amazon* and*Standard AI*, where we*co-organize the 
workshop and share 2 public datasets, namely the**Grocery Vision 
<https://grocery-vision.github.io/overview.html>** dataset from Amazon, 
as well as the**RetailAction 
<https://huggingface.co/datasets/standard-cognition/RetailAction>** dataset 
from Standard AI*. And we have*3 challenges to participate in Grocery 
Vision Challenge (GV26)*. See details for challenge section.


_About the Grocery Vision Challenge (GV26)_
The Grocery Vision Challenge is a yearly challenge, aims to bring 
together computer vision and AI scientists from both academic and 
industry backgrounds, focusing on pioneering advancements in physical 
retail AI, particularly within the grocery sector. In 2026, we will have 
3 tracks of challenges:

  * *Track 1: Shopping Cart Video Temporal Action Localization (SC-TAL)
    and Spatial Temporal Action Localization (SC-STAL)*
  * *Track 2: Multi-modal Product Retrieval (MPR)*.
  * *Track 3: Top-View Spatial Temporal Action Localization (TV-STAL) -
    hosted on

The GV challenges were organized in WACV24 (part of 1st Physical Retail 
AI Workshop), CVPR 2024 (part of RetailVision workshop), WACV 2025 (part 
of 2nd Physical Retail AI workshop), and ICCV 2025 (part of RetailVision 
workshop). See more details:https://grocery-vision.github.io
