Abstract:
PURPOSE: A view path providing apparatus and a view path providing method are provided to consider the dynamic movement of the image and the location of the sound source, at the same time, by the audio visual fusion information, thereby selecting the information with high reliability. CONSTITUTION: An input unit(110) receives an input of a plurality of image which is photographed in the separated position and a plurality of sound source which is listened from the separated location. A location decision unit(140) determines the location of the sound source through the analysis of a plurality of sound source. A protrusion map generator(150) produces a plurality of mono protrusion map about each image and produces the dynamic protrusion maps by using the produced mono protrusion map. A view path generator(160) produces the view path about a plurality of image based on the dynamic protrusion map and the sound source location.
