Visually Guided Sound Source Separation and Localization using Self-Supervised Motion Representations
The objective of this paper is to perform audio-visual sound source separation, i.e.~to separate component audios from a mixture based on the videos of sound sources. Moreover, we aim to pinpoint the source location in the input video sequence. Recent works have shown impressive audio-visual separation results when using prior knowledge of the source type (e.g. human playing instrument) and pre-trained motion detectors (e.g. keypoints or optical flows). However, at the same time, the models are limited to a certain application domain. In this paper, we address these limitations and make the following contributions: i) we propose a two-stage architecture, called Appearance and Motion network (AMnet), where the stages specialise to appearance and motion cues, respectively. The entire system is trained in a self-supervised manner; ii) we introduce an Audio-Motion Embedding (AME) framework to explicitly represent the motions that related to sound; iii) we propose an audio-motion transformer architecture for audio and motion feature fusion; iv) we demonstrate state-of-the-art performance on two challenging datasets (MUSIC-21 and AVE) despite the fact that we do not use any pre-trained keypoint detectors or optical flow estimators.
