Özet

The performance of audio-based speech recognition systems degrades severely when there is a mismatch between training and usage environments due to background noise. This degradation is due to a loss of ability to extract and distinguish important information from audio features. One of the emerging techniques for dealing with this problem is the addition of visual features in a multimodal recognition system. This paper presents an affine-invariant, multimodal speech recognition system and focuses on the supplementary information that is available from video features.
