Blind Separation of Instantaneous Mixtures of Dependent Sources

چکیده
This paper deals with the problem of Blind Source Separation. Contrary to the vast majority of works, we do not assume the statistical independence betwwen sources and explicitly consider that they are dependent. We introduce three particular models of dependent sources and show that their cumulants have interesting properties. Based on these properties, we investigate the behaviour of classical Blind Source Separation algorithms when applied to these sources: depending on the source vector, the separation may be sucessful or some additionnal indeterminacies can be identified.

Acoustic Source Separation: Fundamental Issues
Acoustic source separation aims at estimating the contribution of each acoustic source from the signals measured at an array of microphones. The measurement signals are usually mixtures of acoustic sources and some noise contributions. When mixtures are assumed to be linear instantaneous mixtures, they can be separated by the method known as blind source separation or independent component anal...
متن کاملUnderdetermined blind separation of sparse sources with instantaneous and convolutive mixtures
We consider the underdetermined blind source separation problem with linear instantaneous and convolutive mixtures when the input signals are sparse, or have been rendered sparse. In the underdetermined case the problem requires solving three subproblems: detecting the number of sources, estimating the mixing matrix, and finding an adequate inversion strategy to obtain the sources. This paper s...
متن کاملBlind Source Separation by Local Interaction of Output Signals
We compare independent component analysis (ICA) [Bell and Sejnowski, 1995] to an alternative method [Fisher and Principe, 1996] for blind source separation of instantaneous linear mixtures. The method and its application to blind source separation of instantaneous linear mixtures is reviewed. Empirical results separating sources of varying kurtosis and a limited number of samples are presented....
متن کاملIRWIN AND JOAN JACOBS CENTER FOR COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES Blind Separation of Time/Position Varying Mixtures
We address the fascinating open engineering problem of blindly separating time/position varying mixtures, and attempt to separate the sources from such mixtures without having prior information about the sources or the mixing system. Unlike studies concerning instantaneous or convolutive mixtures, we assume that the mixing system (medium) is changing in time/position. Attempts to solve this pro...
متن کاملSeparation of instantaneous mixtures of a particular set of dependent sources using classical ICA methods
This article deals with the problem of blind source separation in the case of a linear and instantaneous mixture. We first investigate the behavior of known independent component analysis (ICA) methods in the case where the independence assumption is violated: specific dependent sources are introduced and it is shown that, depending on the source vector, the separation may be successful or not....
