ASDnB: Merging Face with Body Cues For Robust Active Speaker Detection
State-of-the-art Active Speaker Detection (ASD) approaches mainly use audio and facial features as input. However, the main hypothesis in this paper is that body dynamics is also highly correlated to "speaking" (and "listening") actions and should be particularly useful in wild conditions (e.
Evidence notes
- Experiments use TIAGo as the physical evaluation platform.
- The reported results provide an independent evaluation on TIAGo hardware.
