The Picture Coding Symposium (PCS) is an international forum devoted specifically to advances in visual data coding. PCS is the pioneer conference and has the longest history in this field. Since 1969 PCS has provided the most exciting forum for the visual coding community from academia and industry.
The 32nd PCS will be held in the historical city of Nuremberg in Germany and the famous Christkindlesmarkt (Christmas market) will welcome you for a memorable experience of German tradition. In line with the pioneering tradition of PCS, path breaking, challenging exploratory contributions are very welcome.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
Coding of still and moving pictures
Model-based and synthetic coding
Multi-view video processing and coding
Coding for mobile, IP and sensor networks
Standards for visual data coding
Image coding for novel camera architectures
Distributed source coding
Joint source and channel coding
Transcoding and transmoding
Scalable image and video coding
Coding and processing for database applications
Multimodal coding and processing
Representation, analysis and coding of 3D scenes
Very high-resolution imaging, coding and processing
Image and video processing
Subjective and objective quality assessment metrics and methods
Error robustness, resilience and concealment
Protection and integrity of visual data
