Sound source localization in reverberant environment using visual information

Abstract

Recently, many researchers have carried out works on audio-video integration. It is worth exploring because service robots are supposed to interact with human beings using both visual and auditory sensors. In this paper, we propose an audio-video method for sound source localization in reverberant environment. Using visual information from a vision camera, we could train our audio localizer to distinguish a real source from fake sources and improved the performance of audio localizer in reverberant environment.
