A Study of Methods for Initialization and Permutation Alignment for Time-Frequency Domain Blind Source Separation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The problem of the blind signal separation (BSS) consists of estimating the latent component signals in a linear mixture, referred to as the sources, starting from several observed signals, without relying on any specific knowledge of the sources. In particular, when the sources are audible, this problem is known as to the cocktail-party problem, making reference to the ability of the human ear to isolate the conversation of our interest among several conversations immersed in a noisy environment with many people talking at the same time.

Solving the Permutation and Circularity Problems of Frequency-Domain Blind Source Separation
Blind source separation (BSS) for convolutive mixtures can be performed efficiently in the frequency domain, where independent component analysis (ICA) is applied separately in each frequency bin. However, frequencydomain BSS involves two major problems that must be solved. The first is the permutation problem: the permutation ambiguity of ICA should be aligned so that a separated signal in the...
متن کاملPermutation Correction in the Frequency Domain in Blind Separation of Speech Mixtures
This paper presents a method for blind separation of convolutive mixtures of speech signals, based on the joint diagonalization of the time varying spectral matrices of the observation records. The main and still largely open problem in a frequency domain approach is permutation ambiguity. In an earlier paper of the authors, the continuity of the frequency response of the unmixing filters is ex...
متن کاملUsing inter-frequency decorrelation to reduce the permutation inconsistency problem in blind source separation
One of the most important problems in frequency domain blind source separation is the inconsistency across frequency in the permutation of the source estimates. In this paper we present a new algorithm that simultaneously diagonalizes the intrafrequency and the inter-frequency correlation matrices of the source estimates. Experimental results, using speech signals, reveal that the algorithm ach...
متن کاملA New Fast–converging Method for Blind Source Separation of Speech Signals in Acoustic Environments
In this paper we propose a new frequency domain approach to blind source separation (BSS) of audio signals mixed in a reverberant environment. It is first shown that joint diagonalization of the cross power spectral density matrices of the signals at the output of the mixing system is sufficient to identify the mixing system at each frequency bin up to a scale and permutation ambiguity. The fre...
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...
