While it proves to be effective for widely used benchmark datasets, the method falls short for challenging scenarios like urban traffic. This work introduces temporal context into the state-of-the-art methods for sound source localization in urban scenes using optical flow as a means to encode motion information. An analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of our methods helps us better understand the problem of visual sound source localization and sheds light on open challenges for audio-visual scene understanding.","url_abs":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2211.08367v2","url_pdf":"https://arxiv.org/pdf/2211.08367v2.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"flowgrad-using-motion-for-visual-sound-source","repo_url":"https://github.com/rrrajjjj/flowgrad","is_official":1,"mentioned_in_paper":1,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"pytorch","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"optical-flow-estimation","task_name":"Optical Flow Estimation"},{"task_slug":"scene-understanding","task_name":"Scene Understanding"},{"task_slug":"sound-source-localization","task_name":"Sound Source Localization"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"atlas_url":"https://app.syntology.ai/?focus=2211.08367","mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
