Welcome to PCS'2012 Conference Site

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. Its history dates back to the year 1969, when the first meeting took place in Cambridge, USA. Since then, PCS is one of the most important venues in the calendar of visual data coding community - industry, research, academia, and users. The proceedings of Picture Coding Symposia collect the well selected papers and are now easily accessible through the IEEE Xplore service. After the 27th meeting in Chicago, USA, and 28th meeting in Nagoya, Japan, the 29th Picture Coding Symposium is scheduled to take place in Kraków, Poland.

The conference topics include, but are not limited to the following

• Emerging video coding standards
• HEVC-related topics
• Multi-view video processing and coding
• Representation, analysis and coding of 3D scenes
• Free viewpoint television
• Model-based and synthetic coding

Welcome to Kraków

Kraków has a convenient geographic location on the crossroads of important transportation routes. An international airport with numerous domestic and European destination is very significant to the efficient development of the city. It takes approximately 25 minutes to get to the airport by car, and 12 minutes when using a train.
