Abstract(in English) It is useful to understand a situation of a speaker in a lecture for automatic camera control and video indexing in lecture archiving systems. However, it is difficult to understand the situation only by visual sensor because it consists of multimodal features. Therefore, we use multimodal sensors, such as microphone array, observation cameras and ultrasonic position sensor in order to understand multimodal information of a speaker. We propose a method for estimating a situation of a speaker by integrating data from multimodal sensors. The rate of correct estimation of a situation of a speaker was 83.0% by our method in comparison with manual estimation.
