Abstract:
Performing sound selection by processing sound source separation on input received from microphones mounted in a wide sector around a device to create a plurality of first sound streams, each first sound stream associated with a source of sound; detecting at least one human image in imaging data acquired from at least one camera collecting imaging data from the wide sector; determining a first direction within the wide sector for at least one of the human images; forming an acoustic beam, the first direction, using a plurality of microphones, where the beam being directed at the first direction to produce a second sound stream; comparing the second sound stream with each of the first sound streams to form a plurality of comparison results; and associating a selected first sound stream with the human object according to a best-fit comparison result.

Claim (Index 11):
A method for sound selection, the method comprising:\n processing sound source separation on sound input received from a plurality of microphones mounted in at least a wide sector around a device, to create a plurality of first sound streams, each first sound stream associated with a source of sound; detecting at least one image of a first human object, in imaging data acquired from at least one camera mounted on said device to collect imaging data from said at least wide sector around said device; determining a first direction within said at least wide sector for at least one of said first human objects; forming an acoustic beam, for at least one of said first directions, using said plurality of microphones, said acoustic beam being directed at said first direction to produce a second sound stream; comparing said second sound stream with each of said first sound streams to form a plurality of comparison results; and associating a selected first sound stream with said human object according to a best-fit comparison result.
