Self-supervised learning from large-scale video data has emerged as a dominant paradigm for visual representation learning. Since audio and visual streams naturally co-occur in video data, extending this success to jointly learn from both modalities is a natural next step, yet it remains challenging.

The paper introduces a method for learning binaural sound localization by using egomotion as a supervisory signal. By tracking how a camera’s direction changes relative to a sound source during a video, the authors train an audio model to predict sound directions that align with visual estimates of camera motion derived from multi‑view geometry. They evaluate this approach on a newly proposed dataset of real‑world audio‑visual videos with egomotion, demonstrating that the model can learn from real data and perform well on sound localization tasks.
