A simple measure of mutual information between the resulting audio features and the video ones allows to detect the active speaker among different candidates. The results show that our method is able to exploit the shared speech information contained in audio and video signals to recover their common source.LTS1LTS5multimodalspeaker detectionmutual informationtext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
