  • Patent number: 11665391
    Abstract: A signal processing device includes an input interface, an image processor, an audio processor, and a controller. The input interface receives signals of a video and an audio acquired concurrently in a space where subjects exist. The image processor recognizes subject images in the video, to determine a first type of area where each subject exists. The audio processor recognizes sound sources in the audio, to determine a second type of area where each sound source exists in the space, independently of the first type of area. The controller uses the first and second types of areas to judge coincidence or non-coincidence between a position of the each subject and a position of the each sound source, to determine a combination of a subject and a sound source whose positions coincide with each other. The controller selectively determines the subject image to be output that corresponds to the combination.
