• Abstract: Grounding objects in images using visual cues is a well-established approach in computer vision, yet the potential of audio as a modality for object recognition and grounding remains underexplored. We introduce YOSS, "You Only Speak Once to See," to leverage audio for grounding objects in visual scenes, termed Audio Grounding. By integrating pre-trained audio models with visual models using contrastive learning and multi-modal alignment, our approach captures speech commands or descriptions and maps them directly to corresponding objects within images. Experimental results indicate that audio guidance can be effectively applied to object grounding, suggesting that incorporating audio guidance may enhance the precision and robustness of current object grounding methods and improve the performance of robotic systems and computer vision applications. This finding opens new possibilities for advanced object recognition, scene understanding, and the development of more intuitive and capable robotic systems.

  Affordance grounding refers to the task of finding the area of an object with which one can interact. Much of the knowledge is hidden and beyond the image content with the supervised labels from a limited training set. We make an attempt to improve the generalization capability of the current affordance grounding by taking the advantage of the rich world, abstract, and human-object-interaction knowledge.

  We study a new task -- real-world audio-visual scene synthesis -- and a first-of-its-kind NeRF-based approach for multimodal learning. We propose an acoustic-aware audio generation module that integrates prior knowledge of audio propagation into NeRF. We present a coordinate transformation module that expresses a view direction relative to the sound source, enabling the model to learn sound source-centric acoustic fields.

  We propose a two-stage step-by-step learning framework to localize and recognize sounding objects in complex audiovisual scenarios. We generate class-aware object localization maps in cocktail-party scenarios and use audiovisual correspondence to suppress silent areas. Experiments on both realistic and synthesized videos show that our model is superior in localizing and recognizing objects as well as filtering out silent ones.

  Reverberation from audio reflecting off surfaces and objects in the environment not only degrades the quality of speech for human perception, but also severely impacts the accuracy of automatic speech recognition. Our idea is to learn to dereverberate speech from audio-visual observations. We introduce Visually-Informed Dereverberation of Audio (VIDA), an end-to-end approach that learns to remove reverberation based on both the observed sounds and visual scene.

We employ a generative audio-to-video training scheme in which we animate a still image corresponding to a given audio clip and optimize the generated video to be as close as possible to the real video of the speech segment. We achieve state of the art results for emotion recognition and competitive results for speech recognition.
