Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Audio-Visual Automatic Speech Recognition (AVASR) has been developed to enhance the robustness in noisy environments, using visual information in addition to acoustic features. Similarly, Audio-Visual Voice Activity Detection (AVVAD) has been investigated and used to increase the precision of VAD, since detecting presence of speech in noisy audio signals contributes ASR performance. In this paper, we propose a novel speech recognition method combining AVASR and AVVAD: combinations of model-based and model-free, and feature-fusion-based or decision-fusion-based methods. To evaluate the proposed schemes, recognition experiments were conducted using noisy audio-visual data. Then it is found that the proposed method using the model-free feature-fusion AVVAD method outperforms not only audio-only ASR but also conventional AVASR.
