Geometric algorithms for linear independent component analysis (ICA) have recently received some attention due to their pictorial description and their relative ease of implementation. The geometric approach to ICA has been proposed first by Puntonet and Prieto [6] in order to separate linear mixtures. One major drawback of geometric algorithms is, however, an exponentially rising number of sam...

In this work, we propose a simple and effective scheme to incorporate prior knowledge about the sources of interest (SOIs) in independent component analysis (ICA) and apply the method to estimate brain activations from functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. We name the proposed method as feature-selective ICA since it incorporates the features in the sample space of the independent ...

The goal of the project is to develop the technology for integrated acoustic sensing and signal processing to extract and separate signals of interest in the acoustic scene. The approach uses integrated MEMS/optical technology for acoustic sensing, and applies gradient flow and independent component analysis for signal separation. The focus of the first year of the effort was to implement the s...

Hyperspectral images, contain data from a large number of contiguous bands and, therefore, cannot be displayed directly using a color display system. In this paper, an independent component analysis-based (ICA-based) approach for the problem of fusing hyperspectral images to three-band images for color display purposes is proposed. Correlation coefficient and mutual information (ICA-CCMI) are u...

Independent component analysis is often approached from an information theoretic perspective employing specific sample estimates for the mutual information between the separated outputs. These approximations involve the nonparametric estimation of signal entropies. The common approach involves the estimation of these quantities and adaptation based on these criteria. In contrast, in this paper,...

Independent component analysis (ICA) of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data reveals spatially independent patterns of functional activation. The purely datadriven approach of ICA makes statistical inference difficult. The purpose of this study was to develop a hybrid ICA in the frequency domain that enables statistical inference while preserving advantages of a data-driven ICA. Th...

A kind of image digital watermarking scheme is proposed in this paper. The scheme is based on Fast Independent Component Analysis (Fast ICA) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT). In this scheme, a binary image is embedded into a wavelet approach sub-image. When extracting the watermarking, Fast ICA method is used. The experiment results show that the scheme is robust to many attacks. Keyword— B...

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a modern factor analysis tool developed in the last two decades. Given p-dimensional data, we search for that linear combination of data which creates (almost) independent components. Here copulae are used to model the p-dimensional data and then independent components are found by optimizing the copula parameters. Based on this idea, we propose the COPIC...

This article describes a relatively new research topic called independent component analysis (ICA), which is becoming very popular in the signal processing literature and amongst those working in machine learning and data mining. The primary focus of ICA is to resolve the classical problem of blind source separation (BSS), in which an unknown mixture of nonGaussian signals is decomposed into it...

For statistical analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data sets, we propose a data-driven approach based on independent component analysis (ICA) implemented in a new version of the AnalyzeFMRI R package. For fMRI data sets, spatial dimension being much greater than temporal dimension, spatial ICA is the computationally tractable approach generally proposed. However, for some ...
