Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) In the robot dialogue system, utilization of a hands-free microphone enables us to realize a more natural conversation. However, there is a problem in which the recognition accuracy is decreased as the interfering noise increases.
Therefore, in this study, we aim to improve the recognition accuracy
by using semi-blind speech extraction with the speaker position obtained
from image information via "Kinect" that has a microphone array and a camera.
We use a spoken dialogue robot Kitachan managed by the authors for station guidance. As the results of experiments, we confirm that the recognition performance is markedly improved compared with the case without using image information.
