Space-Time Memory Network for Sounding Object Localization in Videos

Sizhe Li, Yapeng Tian, Chenliang Xu

Leveraging temporal synchronization and association within sight and sound is an essential step towards robust localization of sounding objects. To this end, we propose a space-time memory network for sounding object localization in videos. It can simultaneously learn spatio-temporal attention over both uni-modal and cross-modal representations from audio and visual modalities. We show and analyze both quantitatively and qualitatively the effectiveness of incorporating spatio-temporal learning in localizing audio-visual objects. We demonstrate that our approach generalizes over various complex audio-visual scenes and outperforms recent state-of-the-art methods.
