Picture Coding Symposium (PCS) is an international forum devoted specifically toadvancements 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 thevisual 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 thetradition of PCS, challenging exploratory contributions are very welcomed.
In addition to the three day symposium held on December 8-10, the one day
workshop (WPCIP) will be held on December 7, which is organized by the 25thPicture Coding Symposium of Japan and the 15th Image Media Processing
Symposium (PCSJ/IMPS).
TOPICSThe 28th PCS especially focuses on 3DTV FTV (Freeviewpoint Television) Beyond H.264/MPEG-4 AVC
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: Coding of still and moving pictures
 Model-based and synthetic coding Distributed source coding Image and video processing Multimodal coding and processing
 Very high-resolution imaging, coding and processing Multi-view video processing and coding Representation, analysis and coding of 3D scenes
 Virtual/augmented/mixed reality
 Subjective and objective quality assessment metrics and methods
 Joint source and channel coding Error robustness, resilience and concealment
 Transcoding and transmoding Coding for mobile, IP and sensor networks
 Coding and processing for database applications
 Protection and integrity of visual data Implementation architectures and VLSI New applications and techniques for visual data processing Standards for visual data coding
