Abstract

A sound source separation method comprising the steps of determining at least one location of at least one sound source based on video data, determining initial estimates of at least two parameters characterizing an audio signal emitted by said sound source, said initial estimates being determined based on said at least one location, performing an expectation-maximization method for determining final estimates of said parameters, and separating the audio signal from a combination of audio signals based on said final estimates of said parameters.
