Abstract
A method for modifying a sound produced by a sound source in a video includes capturing video and audio of a scene is disclosed. Audio is captured using a microphone array. A sound source is isolated and a direction of arrival of the sound source with respect to a capture location is identified. One or more visual objects in the captured video are identified. One of the isolated sound sources is associated with one of the identified visual objects. An input identifying one of the isolated sound sources is received during playing of the captured video and audio. The input includes a command. Responsive to receiving the input, an attribute of the identified isolated sound source is modified. The input may identify a visual object associated with a sound source.
