Abstract
The present disclosure provides a sound collection device that collects a sound while suppressing noise. The sound collection device includes: a storage that stores first data indicating a feature amount of an image of an object indicating a noise source or a target sound source; and a control circuit that specifies a direction of the noise source by performing a first collation of collating image data generated by a camera with the first data, and performs signal processing on an acoustic signal outputted from a microphone array so as to suppress a sound arriving from the specified direction of the noise source.
