The Picture Coding Symposium (PCS) is an international forum devoted to advances in visual data coding. PCS is the pioneer conference in image and video coding, and has the longest history since its establishment in 1969.
​The 33rd PCS will return to iconic San Francisco, California. As gateway to Silicon Valley, San Francisco provides an exceptional venue for building bridges between academic and industry research. Surrounded by a culture of openness and innovation, the conference hopes to draw ground-breaking contributions and spark stimulating discussions within the visual coding community.
