Original Abstract Submitted

A method, an electronic device, and a computer program product for image processing are disclosed herein. The method in an illustrative embodiment comprises collecting a plurality of audio signals from a plurality of sensors, and combining the plurality of audio signals to generate synthetic audio, wherein the plurality of sensors are located at different locations in the same space, and the plurality of audio signals each have a location identifier. The method further comprises analyzing the synthetic audio to find an audio subset in the plurality of audio signals, and extracting first image features of a first image of the space. The method further comprises modifying the first image features based on the location identifiers of the audio signals in the audio subset to generate second image features, and generating a second image of the space based on the second image features.
