'Shadow BSS' for Blind Source Separation in Rapidly Time-Varying Acoustic Scenes
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the tracking capability of blind source separation algorithms for rapidly time-varying sensor or source positions. Based on a known algorithm for blind source separation, which also allows for simultaneous localization of multiple active sources in reverberant environments, the source separation performance will be investigated for abrupt microphone array rotations representing the worst case. After illustrating the deficiencies in source-tracking with the given efficient implementation of the BSS algorithm, a method to ensure robust source separation even with abrupt microphone array rotations is proposed. Experimental results illustrate the efficiency of the proposed concept.

Blind Source Separation for Convolutive Mixtures: a Unified Treatment
Blind source separation (BSS) algorithms for time series can exploit three properties of the source signals: nonwhiteness, nonstationarity, and nongaussianity. While methods utilizing the first two properties are usually based on second-order statistics (SOS), higher-order statistics (HOS) must be considered to exploit nongaussianity. In this chapter, we consider all three properties simultaneo...
متن کاملBlind Source Separation for Signal Processing Applications
Blind Source Separation (BSS) is a statistical approach to separating individual signals from an observed mixture of a group of signals. BSS relies on only very weak assumptions on the signals and the mixing process (hence the “blind” descriptor) and this blindness enables the technique to be used in a wide variety of situations. Research in the field of Blind Source Separation has resulted in ...
متن کاملCalculation of Leakage in Water Supply Network Based on Blind Source Separation Theory
The economic and environmental losses due to serious leakage in the urban water supply network have increased the effort to control the water leakage. However, current methods for leakage estimation are inaccurate leading to the development of ineffective leakage controls. Therefore, this study proposes a method based on the blind source separation theory (BSS) to calculate the leakage of water...
متن کاملRelation between Blind System Identification and Convolutive Blind Source Separation
1. INTRODUCTION. Traditionally blind source separation (BSS) has often been considered as an inverse problem. In this paper we show that the theoretically optimum convolutive BSS solution corresponds to blind multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) system identification. By choosing an appropriate filter length we show that for broadband algorithms the well-known ambiguities can be avoided. Ambig...
متن کاملFundamental Limitation of Frequency Domain Blind Source Separation for Convolved Mixture of Speech
Despite several recent proposals to achieve Blind Source Separation (BSS) for realistic acoustic signals, the separation performance is still not enough. In particular, when the length of an impulse response is long, the performance is highly limited. In this paper, we consider the reason for the poor performance of BSS in a long reverberation environment. First, we show that it is useless to b...
