Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Voice Conversion (VC) is a technique to convert speeches of source speaker into those of target speaker. VC has an issue the quality of converted speech degrades in noisy conditions. Multi-modal VC employing speech data as well as lip images has been proposed. An audio-visual feature is obtained by incorporating audio and visual features. In this paper, we propose a method to combine audio and visual features for noise-robust multi-modal VC. We evaluated our feature integration schemes using parallel data consisting of several speakers' utterances. Subjective and objective experiments were conducted in various acoustic and visual noisy environments. As a result, the quality of the conventional VC decreased, whereas our method improved the quality. It is found visual dynamic information contributes the improvement.
