Welcome to PCS 2010 !

Picture Coding Symposium (PCS) is an international forum devoted specifically to advancements in visual data coding. PCS is the pioneer and has the longest history in this field. Since 1969, PCS has provided the most exciting meeting place for the visual coding community: industry, research, academia, and users. The 28th PCS will be held at Winc Aichi in Nagoya, Aichi, JAPAN, on December 7-10, 2010. In line with the tradition of PCS, challenging exploratory contributions are very welcomed.

In PCS 2010, in addition to the three day symposium held on December 8-10, the one day workshop will be held on December 7. This workshop, called Workshop on Picture Coding and Image Processing (WPCIP), is jointly organized by the 25th Picture Coding Symposium of Japan and the 15th Image Media Processing Symposium (PCSJ/IMPS).

Furthermore, just after PCS 2010, the 18th International Packet Video Workshop will be held in Hong Kong, China, on December 13-14, 2010 (see PV 2010 web site).
