Abstract

The invention discloses a microphone array sound source positioning method, device and system based on video tracking. The method comprises the steps that the time difference information of a number of microphones which acquire current speech in a microphone array is counted; according to the time difference information and the position information of a number of microphones, the approximate position information of a current sound source is acquired; according to the approximate position information, sound source tracking control of the first time is carried out on a camera, so as to carry out video acquiring and human face detection; and according to a human face detection result, sound source tracking control of the second time is carried out on the camera, so that a human face image of a current spokesman is placed at an intermediate position of a current video image. According to the invention, when a user uses a television conference system, without manual control on the camera, the camera can automatically carry out accurate video positioning and tracking on the spokesman; and due to the fact that human face identification is combined, the accuracy of sound source positioning can be further improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of video conferencing, in particular to a video tracking-based microphone array sound source localization method, device and system. Background technique [0002] A current commercial multimedia video conferencing system includes a camera for collecting video images of a meeting place, a microphone array for collecting audio signals of a speaker, and a display device for playing the video images of a current meeting place. During the meeting, in order to better enable the participants to understand the situation of the current speaker in more detail, it is usually necessary to point the camera arranged at the venue at the current speaker, and collect and play the actual speech of the speaker in real time. [0003] At present, the application of sound source localization technology is very extensive. In multimedia video conferencing, the position and direction angle of the sound source can be estimate...
