abstract = "Sound event detection and sound localization or tracking have historically been two separate areas of research. Recent development of sound event detection methods approach also the localization side, but lack a consistent way of measuring the joint performance of the system; instead, they measure the separate abilities for detection and for localization. This paper proposes augmentation of the localization metrics with a condition related to the detection, and conversely, use of location information in calculating the true positives for detection. An extensive evaluation example is provided to illustrate the behavior of such joint metrics. The comparison to the detection only and localization only performance shows that the proposed joint metrics operate in a consistent and logical manner, and characterize adequately both aspects.",
