The novel Speaker Tracking Network (STNet) is a deep learning architecture designed to improve the accuracy and robustness of audio-visual speaker tracking. The STNet combines multiple modalities, including audio and visual signals, using a cross-modal attention module that models the correlation between these cues. This allows for more effective fusion of heterogeneous features and improves the overall performance of the tracker. In addition, the STNet is capable of handling multi-speaker scenarios by incorporating a quality-aware module that evaluates the reliability of each modal observation. The proposed approach outperforms existing uni-modal methods and state-of-the-art audio-visual speaker trackers on benchmark datasets such as AV16.3 and CAV3D.

The paper presents a new way to track people’s movements using a combination of sounds and images. It creates a special network that combines these two types of data, which helps it to better understand what’s happening in the scene. This allows the system to more accurately locate people and follow their movements over time. The approach is designed to work well even when there are multiple people in the same area, and it outperforms other methods on test datasets.
