چکیده

We propose utilizing subband-based blind source separation (BSS) for convolutive mixtures of speech. This is motivated by the drawback of frequency-domain BSS, i.e., when a long frame with a fixed long frame-shift is used to cover reverberation, the number of samples in each frequency decreases and the separation performance is degraded. In subband BSS, (1) by using a moderate number of subbands, a sufficient number of samples can be held in each subband, and (2) by using FIR filters in each subband, we can manage long reverberation. We confirm that subband BSS achieves better performance than frequency-domain BSS. Moreover, subband BSS allows us to select a separation method suited to each subband. Using this advantage, we propose efficient separation procedures that consider the frequency characteristics of room reverberation and speech signals (3) by using longer unmixing filters in low frequency bands and (4) by adopting an overlap-blockshift in BSS’s batch adaptation in low frequency bands. Consequently, frequency-dependent subband processing is successfully realized with the proposed subband BSS. key words: blind source separation, speech separation, convolutive mixtures, subband processing, frequency dependent processing

Subband Based Blind Source Separation with Appropriate Processing for Each Frequency Band

We propose subband-based blind source separation (BSS) for convolutive mixtures of speech. This is motivated by the drawback of frequency-domain BSS, i.e., when a long frame with a fixed frame-shift is used for a few seconds of speech, the number of samples in each frequency bin decreases and the separation performance is degraded. In our proposed subband BSS, (1) by using a moderate number of ...

Auditory-based Subband Blind Source Separation using Sample-by-Sample and Infomax Algorithms

We present a new subband decomposition method for the separation of convolutive mixtures of speech. This method uses a sample-by-sample algorithm to perform the subband decomposition by mimicking the processing performed by the human ear. The unknown source signals are separated by maximizing the entropy of a transformed set of signal mixtures through the use of a gradient ascent algorithm. Exp...

Subband Blind Source Separation with Critically Sampled Filter Banks

Subband blind source separation methods have been recently proposed with the objective of reducing the computational complexity and improving the convergence rate of online adaptive algorithms. Oversampled subband structures, employing uniform DFT filter banks, are usually employed in order to avoid aliasing effects and keep enough samples to estimate the statistics of the subband signals. In t...

Convolutive independent component analysis by leave-one-out optimal kernel approximation

This work addresses on blind separation of convolutive mixtures of independent sources. The temporally convolutive structure is assumed to be composed of multiple mixing matrices, each corresponding to a time delay, collectively transforming a segment of consecutive source signals to form multichannel observations. As τ = 1, this problem reduces to linear independent component analysis. For arb...

Blind Source Separation of Convolutive Mixtures of Speech in Frequency Domain

This paper overviews a total solution for frequencydomain blind source separation (BSS) of convolutive mixtures of audio signals, especially speech. Frequency-domain BSS performs independent component analysis (ICA) in each frequency bin, and this is more efficient than time-domain BSS. We describe a sophisticated total solution for frequency-domain BSS, including permutation, scaling, circular...
