CfP: Picture Coding Symposium (PCS 2010)

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE, 1 JUNE 2010

It is our pleasure to announce the 28th Picture Coding Symposium (PCS 2010) to be held in Nagoya, JAPAN, 7-10 December 2010.

All the information is available at http://www.pcs2010.org.

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 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, which includes 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 (http://www.mtrec.ust.hk/pv2010/).
