Abstract

Systems and methods for audio signal enhancement facilitated using video data are provided. In one example, a method includes receiving a multi-channel audio signal including audio inputs detected by a plurality of audio input devices. The method further includes receiving an image captured by a video input device. The method further includes determining a first signal based at least in part on the image. The first signal is indicative of a likelihood associated with a target audio source. The method further includes determining a second signal based at least in part on the multi-channel audio signal and the first signal. The second signal is indicative of a likelihood associated with an audio component attributed to the target audio source. The method further includes processing the multi-channel audio signal based at least in part on the second signal to generate an output audio signal.
