Accounting for Room Acoustics in Audio-Visual Multi-Speaker Tracking

Abstract

Multiple-speaker tracking is a crucial task for many applications. In real-world scenarios, exploiting the complementarity between auditory and visual data enables to track people outside the visual field of view. However, practical methods must be robust to changes in acoustic conditions, e.g. reverberation. We investigate how to combine state-of-the-art audio-source localization techniques with Bayesian multi-person tracking. Our experiments demonstrate that the performance of the proposed system is not affected by changes in the acoustic environment.
