Audio-Visual Object Extraction using Graph Cuts

Pierre Vandergheynst, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

We propose a novel method to automatically extract the audio-visual objects that are present in a scene. First, the synchrony between related events in audio and video channels is exploited to identify the possible locations of the sound sources. Video reg ...

Audio-Visual Fusion : New Methods and Applications

Anna Llagostera Casanovas

The perception that we have about the world is influenced by elements of diverse nature. Indeed humans tend to integrate information coming from different sensory modalities to better understand their environment. Following this observation, scientists hav ...

Unsupervised Extraction of Audio-Visual Objects

Pierre Vandergheynst, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

We propose a novel method to automatically detect and extract the video modality of the sound sources that are present in a scene. For this purpose, we first assess the synchrony between the moving objects captured with a video camera and the sounds record ...

Audio-driven Nonlinear Video Diffusion

Pierre Vandergheynst, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

In this paper we present a novel nonlinear video diffusion approach based on the fusion of information in audio and video channels. Both modalities are efficiently combined into a diffusion coefficient that integrates the basic assumption in this domain, i ...

Blind Audio-Visual Source Separation based on Sparse Redundant Representations

Pierre Vandergheynst, Gianluca Monaci, Rémi Gribonval, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

In this paper we propose a novel method which is able to detect and separate audio-visual sources present in a scene. Our method exploits the correlation between the video signal captured with a camera and a synchronously recorded one-microphone audio trac ...

Audio-based nonlinear video diffusion

Pierre Vandergheynst, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

We propose a novel non-linear video diffusion approach which is able to focus on parts of a video sequence that are relevant for applications in audio-visual analysis. The diffusion process is controlled by a diffusion coefﬁcient based on an estimate of th ...

Blind Audiovisual Separation based on Redundant Representations

Pierre Vandergheynst, Gianluca Monaci, Rémi Gribonval, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

In this work we present a method to perform a complete audiovisual source separation without need of previous information. This method is based on the assumption that sounds are caused by moving structures. Thus, an efficient representation of audio and vi ...

Blind Audiovisual Source Separation Using Sparse Representations

Pierre Vandergheynst, Gianluca Monaci, Anna Llagostera Casanovas

In this work we present a method to jointly separate active audio and visual structures on a given mixture. Blind Audiovisual Source Separation is achieved exploiting the coherence between a video signal and a one-microphone audio track. The efficient repr ...
