On the convolutive mixture source separation by the decorrelation approach

چکیده
In this paper, we consider the problem of blind separation of causal minimum phase convolutive mixtures of two sources. We study in detail the so-called decorrelation approach. It consists in finding a causal minimum phase filter which, driven by the observations, produces decorrelated outputs. It is well established that this approach allows to separate the sources if the mixing filter is a non static FIR filter. We show that this result is no longer true in the IIR case. We establish that it exists infinitely many causal minimum phase filters producing decorrelated outputs and provide a parameterisation of these filters. This clearly shows that the decorrelation approach is, in practice, non robust. In order to overcome this drawback, we propose an alternative approach based on a linear prediction scheme, which, as the decorrelation approach, uses essentially the second order statistics of the observations.

A Time Domain Blind Decorrelation Method of Convolutive Mixtures Based on an Iir Model
We study a time domain decorrelation method of source signal separation from convolutive sound mixtures based on an infinite impulse response (IIR) model. The IIR model uses fewer parameters to capture the physical mixing process and is useful for finding low dimensional separating solutions. We present inversion formulas to decorrelate the mixture signals and derive filter equations involving ...
متن کاملA Unifying Criterion for Blind Source Separation and Decorrelation: Simultaneous Diagonalization of Correlation Matrices
Blind source separation and blind output decorrelation are two well-known problems in signal processing. For instantaneous mixtures, blind source separation is equivalent to a generalized eigen-decomposition, while blind output decorrelation can be considered as an iterative method of output orthogonalization. We propose a steepest descent procedure on a new cost function based on the Frobenius...
متن کاملConvolutive Decorrelation Procedures for Blind Source Separation
Convolutive decorrelation algorithms form a class of powerful algorithms for blind source separation. In contrast to ICA, they are based on vanishing second order cross correlation functions between sources. We provide an analyze an unifying approach for convolu-tive decorrelation procedures. The convolutive decor-relation procedures impose the problem of simultaneously diagonalizing a number o...
