A General Theory of Closed-form Estimators for Blind Source Separation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a general theory for the closed-form parametric estimation of the unitary mixing matrix after prewhitening in the blind separation of two source signals from two noiseless instantaneous linear mixtures. The proposed methodology is based on the algebraic formalism of bicomplex numbers and is able to treat both real and complex valued mixtures indiscriminately. Existing analytic methods are found as particular cases of the exposed unifying formulation. Simulations in a variety of separation scenarios — even beyond the noiseless two-signal case — compare, assess and validate the methods studied.

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 کاملIntroduction to Blind Source Separation Methods
The blind source separation problem (BSS) consists in extracting uncorrelated sources from an observed linear mixture. The rationale behind BSS is to reconstruct correctly the waveform of the signals allowing arbitrariness of their sign, order and energy. Known closed-from solutions succeed by relying on specific assumptions about the source distributional form. For more complex signal, such as...
متن کاملClosed-form semi-blind separation of three sources from three real-valued instantaneous linear mixtures via quaternions
In the problem of blind source separation from instantaneous linear mixtures, a unitary transformation remains unknown after second-order spatial whitening. We present a novel approach for the identification of the orthogonal matrix in the real-valued three-signal scenario which, in contrast to existing procedures, operates in a single closed-form step, with no iterations. The new approach is b...
