In September 2013, Jesper Rindom Jensen was awarded a three year postdoc grant from the Danish Council for Independent Research | Technology and Production Sciences. The project started on October 1st, 2013 and will run until September 30th, 2016.

The research idea that will be pursued in this project, is to combine audio and visual information for localization of, e.g., speech sources. Knowing the location of speech sources is of utmost importance in numerous applications, but localization is a difficult task, when only based on audio information. This is due to reverberation, background noise, miscalibration, interferering sources, etc. As these phenomena do not appear in the same form in visual recordings obtained using a camera, a more robust speech location estimate can be obtained by fusing the audio and visual information. This approach will be considered in this research project.
