Tech Papers 2026: This paper presents a Personalized-Timbre Target Curve (PTTC) framework grounded in a mathematical auditory model that decomposes anatomically derived HRTFs into directional and timbral components, isolating the spectral factors that contribute to natural timbre.
Abstract
True Wireless Stereo (TWS) earphones have become the dominant playback device for broadcast, streaming, and immersive media, creating a structural challenge: maintaining perceptual consistency across highly individualised playback conditions. While video workflows rely on standardised colour...

Selective multi-pass encoding for cost-effective video streaming
Tech Papers 2026: This paper presents a content-adaptive strategy, CASE, that predicts whether additional encoding passes would provide meaningful gains using a lightweight mechanism that derives spatial and temporal features from each video segment.
Scalable SSIM estimation from PSNR for per-title and context adaptive encoding workflows
Tech Papers 2026: This paper proposes ApproxSSIMate, a low-complexity method for estimating SSIM from PSNR combined with reference-sequence statistics.
Deep learning super resolution for dense dynamic point Cloud compression
Tech Papers 2026: This paper proposes Video-based Super Sampling Point Cloud Compression (VSS-PCC), a method that uses neural super-resolution to reduce the size of point cloud data before compression.
Client device discovery: An open standard for bridging the first-mile gap in cloud media workflows
Tech Papers 2026: This paper presents the architecture, protocol design, and security model of TR-12, demonstrates its contract-first approach using Smithy models, and discusses early implementation experience with the open source SDK.
Scene-adaptive camera: Dynamic imaging parameter control for localised shooting areas
Tech Papers 2026: This paper examines a scene-adaptive camera that dynamically adjusts imaging parameters across different areas of a frame to improve image quality.
