Blind Audio Source Separation Exploiting Periodicity and Spectral Envelopes

چکیده
In this paper we focus on the use of windows in the frequency domain processing of data for the purpose of spectral parameter estimation. Classical frequency domain asymptotics replace linear convolution by circulant convolution leading to approximation errors. We show how the introduction of windows can lead to slightly more complex frequency domain techniques, replacing diagonal matrices by banded matrices, but with controlled approximation error. We focus on the estimation of zero mean Gaussian data with a parametric spectrum model and show the equivalence of three approximation/estimation criteria: Itakura-Saito distance (ISD), Gaussian Maximum Likelihood (GML) and Optimally Weighted Covariance Matching (OWCM). We specialize the discussion to the case of single microphone based separation of quasiperiodic sources with AR spectral envelope.

Blind Spectral-GMM Estimation for Underdetermined Instantaneous Audio Source Separation
The underdetermined blind audio source separation problem is often addressed in the time-frequency domain by assuming that each time-frequency point is an independently distributed random variable. Other approaches which are not blind assume a more structured model, like the Spectral Gaussian Mixture Models (Spectral-GMMs), thus exploiting statistical diversity of audio sources in the separatio...
متن کاملA Novel Hybrid Approach to the Permutation Problem of Frequency Domain Blind Source Separation
We explore the permutation problem of frequency domain blind source separation (BSS). Based on performance analysis of three approaches: exploiting spectral continuity, exploiting time envelope structure and beamforming alignment; we present a new hybrid method which incorporates a psychoacoustic filtering process for the misaligned permutations unable to be delt with by these approaches. We us...
متن کاملBlind Audio Source Separation using Short+Long Term AR Source Models and Iterative Itakura-Saito Distance Minimization
Blind audio source separation (BASS) arises in a number of applications in speech and music processing such as speech enhancement, speaker diarization, automated music transcription etc. Generally, BASS methods consider multichannel signal capture. The single microphone case is the most difficult underdetermined case, but it often arises in practice. In the approach considered here, the main so...
متن کاملSingle Channel Audio Source Separation
-Blind source separation is an advanced statistical tool that has found widespread use in many signal processing applications. However, the crux topic based on one channel audio source separation has not fully developed to enable its way to laboratory implementation. The main idea approach to single channel blind source separation is based on exploiting the inherent time structure of sources kn...
متن کاملA Segmental Spectral Flatness Measure for Harmonic-Percussive Discrimination
In a variety of applications of audio signal processing, for example blind source separation (BSS), harmonic signals need to be treated differently from percussive signals. Thus, recognizing if a signal is harmonic or percussive is a very helpful and frequently used preprocessing step. Different measures have been proposed to capture either the harmonicity or the percussivity of a signal, using...
