Title: Query endpointing based on lip detection
Inventor: CHANWOO KIM
IPC: G10L15/25
Filed: 2017-10-30
Abstract: A speech recognition system utilizing synchronised audio and video data is described. Video data and audio data that is synchronized with the video data is received by a computing device. The device determines that a sequence of video frames of the video data includes a representation of a face with moving lips. The device then determines, based on analyzing the video data, that the moving lips in the sequence of video frames are associated with an activity other than speech. If it is determined that it is an activity other than speech, then the speech recognition is bypassed for the audio data corresponding to the synchronised video frames. The analysing of the video data may include a feature statistic for lip movement associated with speech or may use a deep neural network configured to distinguish between detected lip movement. The video data may be captured by a front-facing camera on a smartphone. The device may be an intelligent personal assistant using automated speech recognition (ASR).
