Live music audio and video recordings represent a large percentage of the huge amount of User Generated Content (UGC) that is available on the internet today. Applications and services related to the management and consumption of this content may significantly benefit from tools able to produce a su…
Exploiting correlations in the audio, several works in the past have demonstrated the ability to automatically match and synchronize user-generated video or audio files of the same event. Such tools solve for the unknown starting and ending time of each available recording along the event time-line…
Exploiting correlations in the audio, several works in the past have demonstrated the ability to automatically match and synchronize User Generated Video (UGV) files of the same event. In this paper, we focus on the challenging acoustic environment of a large scale athletic event. We show that the c…
Speaker localization and counting in real-life conditions remains a challenging task. The computational burden, transmission usage and synchronization issues pose several limitations. Moreover, the physical characteristics of real speakers in terms of directivity pattern and orientation, as well as…
Traditionally, sensor arrays and spatial filtering aim to enhance individual sources by suppressing ambient noise and reverberation. In this paper, the exactly opposite problem is examined, that of suppressing individual sources in favour of the ambient sound and of the whole acoustic scene in gener…
