Abstract
Methods, system, and articles are described herein for receiving an audio input and a facial image sequence for a period of time, in which the audio input includes speech input from multiple speakers. The audio input is extracted based on the received facial image sequence to extract a speech input of a particular speaker.
Claims32
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving an audio input and a facial image sequence for a period of time at an electronic device, the audio input including at least one of ambient noise or speech inputs from multiple speakers;
- and
- extracting a speech input of a particular speaker from the audio input based on the received facial image sequence.
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- receiving an audio input and a facial image sequence for a period of time at an electronic device, the audio input including speech inputs from multiple speakers;
- extracting a speech input of a particular speaker from the audio input based on the received facial image sequence;
- and
- processing the extracted speech input into a symbol sequence.
1 more element
An article of manufacture comprising:
- a storage medium;
- and
- computer-readable programming instructions stored on the storage medium and configured to program a computing device to perform operations including:
- receiving an audio input and a facial image sequence for a period of time at an electronic device, wherein the speech input includes a decipherable portion and an indecipherable portion;
- converting the decipherable portion of the audio input into a first symbol sequence portion;
- processing a portion of the facial image sequence that corresponds temporally to the indecipherable portion of the audio input into a second symbol sequence portion;
- and
- integrating the first symbol sequence portion and the second symbol sequence portion in temporal order to form a symbol sequence.
5 more elements
A device comprising:
- a microphone to receive an audio input from an environment;
- a camera to receive a plurality of facial image sequences;
- a processor;
- a memory that stores a plurality of modules that comprises:
- a visual interpretation module to process a portion of an facial image sequence into a symbol sequence;
- and
- a command module to cause the device to perform a function in response at least to the symbol sequence.
