Natural human–robot interaction (HRI) in complex and unpredictable environments is
important with many potential applications. While vision-based HRI has been thoroughly …

In this paper we address the problem of detecting and locating speakers using audiovisual
data. We address this problem in the framework of clustering. We propose a novel weighted …

In this paper we address the problem of detecting and localizing objects that can be both
seen and heard, eg, people. This may be solved within the framework of data clustering. We …

This paper describes the acquisition and content of a new multi-modal database. Some tools
for making use of the data streams are also presented. The Computational Audio-Visual …

Computer-implemented event detection includes obtaining, at one or more processors,
multimedia data including mul tiple frames of video data and corresponding audio data. The …

In this paper we address the problem of aligning visual (V) and auditory (A) data using a
sensor that is composed of a camera-pair and a microphone-pair. The original contribution …

Intelligente Räume, die die sich in ihnen aufhaltenden Personen wahrnehmen und
intelligente, Mensch-zentrierte Dienste anbieten, sind ein aktives Forschungsfeld. In diesem …

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 …

In this thesis, the modelling of audio-visual perception with a head-like device is considered.
The related problems, namely audio-visual calibration, audio-visual object detection …

Localization of audio sources is an important research problem, eg, to facilitate noise
reduction. In the recent years, the problem has been tackled using distributed microphone …
