PCS History

 

Contact Information


Picture Coding Symposium (PCS) is an international forum devoted specifically to advancements in visual data coding. Since 1969 (40 years!), PCS has provided the meeting place for the visual coding community: industry, research, academia, and users. The 27th PCS was held in Chicago, Illinois, USA, on May 6-8, 2009, just before the 17th International Packet Video Workshop, which was held in Seattle, Washington, USA, on May 11-12, 2009.

PCS was held at the The Embassy Suites - Chicago Downtown Lake Front Hotel.

Copies of the Pleanary Talks and the Abstract Book is available. See Program.

 

The 28th PCS will be held in Nagoya, Japan, December 8-10, 2010. You can find out more here.
