Abstract
In this research, we propose a system to extract the object which is pointed by the instructor with a demonstrative speech phrase. The system extracts audio features from a speech signals of the instructor and calculates the likelihood of the demonstrative speech phrase. The system also extracts video features from the video camera and calculates the likelihood of the pointing gesture. Then, the system combines the likelihood of audio and video features to decide whether the instructor points the object with demonstrative speech phrase. We conducted an experiment using a real lecture, which has shown the effectiveness of the proposed method.
