Abstract:Prior studies on audio-visual speech recognition typically assume the visibility of speaking lips, ignoring the fact that visual occlusion occurs in real-world videos, thus adversely affecting recognition performance. To address this issue, we propose a framework that restores occluded lips in a video by utilizing both the video itself and the corresponding noisy audio. Specifically, the framework aims to achieve these three tasks: detecting occluded frames, masking occluded areas, and reconstruction of masked… Show more
