Non Gaussianity and Non Stationarity modeled through Hidden Variables and their use in ICA and Blind Source Separation
نویسنده
چکیده
Modeling non Gaussian and non stationary signals and images has always been one of the most important part of signal and image processing methods. In this paper, first we propose a few new models, all based on using hidden variables for modeling either stationary but non Gaussian or Gaussian but non stationary or non Gaussian and non stationary signals and images. Then, we will see how to use these models in independent component analysis (ICA) or blind source separation (BSS). The computational aspects of the Bayesian estimation framework associated with these prior models are also discussed.

Markovian blind separation of non-stationary temporally correlated sources
In a previous work, we developed a quasi-efficient maximum likelihood approach for blindly separating stationary, temporally correlated sources modeled by Markov processes. In this paper, we propose to extend this idea to separate mixtures of non-stationary sources. To handle non-stationarity, two methods based respectively on blocking and kernel smoothing are used to find parametric estimates ...
متن کاملSeparation of Non Stationary Sources; Achievable Performance
We consider the blind separation of an instantaneous mixture of non stationary source signals, possibly normally distributed. The asymptotic Cramér-Rao bound is exhibited in the case of known source distributions: it reveals how non stationarity and non Gaussianity jointly governs the achievable performance via an index of non stationarity and an index of non Gaussianity.
متن کاملThe Three Easy Routes to Independent Component Analysis; Contrasts and Geometry
Blind separation of independent sources can be achieved by exploiting non Gaussianity, non stationarity or time correlation. This paper examines in a unified framework the objective functions associated to these three routes to source separation. They are the ‘easy routes’ in the sense that the underlying models are the simplest models able to capture the statistical structures which make sourc...
متن کاملAdaptive Blind Separation of Instantaneous Linear Mixtures of Independent Sources
In many applications, there is a need to blindly separate independent sources from their linear instantaneous mixtures while the mixing matrix or source properties are slowly or abruptly changing in time. The easiest way to separate the data is to consider off-line estimation of the model parameters repeatedly in time shifting window. Another popular method is the stochastic natural gradient al...
متن کاملFCOMBI Algorithm for Fetal ECG Extraction
Fetal ECG extraction has an important role in the medical diagnosis during pregnancy. This problem can be modeled from the approach of blind source extraction. The mathematical modeling of fetal ECG extraction using ICA algorithm is described in this paper. It also proposes an efficient BSS method (FCOMBI) for the extraction of fetal ECG. This algorithm combines the strengths of non-Gaussianity...
