ABSTRACT In this paper, single-input multiple-output (SIMO)-model-based blind source separation (BSS) is addressed, where unknown mixed source signals are detected at the microphones, and these signals can be separated, not into monaural source signals but into SIMO-model-based signals from independent sources as they are at the microphones. This technique is highly applicable to high-fidelity signal processing such as binaural signal processing. First, we provide an experimental comparison between two kinds of the SIMO-model-based BSS methods, namely, traditional frequency-domain ICA with projection-back processing(FDICA-PB), and SIMO-ICA recently proposed by the authors. Secondly, we propose a new combination technique of the FDICA-PB and SIMO-ICA, which can achieve a more higher separation performance in comparison to two methods. The experimental results reveal that the accuracy of the separated SIMO signals in the simple SIMO-ICA is inferior to that of FDICA-PB, but the proposed combination technique can outperform both simple FDICA-PB and SIMO-ICA.
Single Channel Source Separation with ICA-Based Time-Frequency Decomposition
Sensors, 2020
This paper relates to the separation of single channel source signals from a single mixed signal by means of independent component analysis (ICA). The proposed idea lies in a time-frequency representation of the mixed signal and the use of ICA on spectral rows corresponding to different time intervals. In our approach, in order to reconstruct true sources, we proposed a novelty idea of grouping statistically independent time-frequency domain (TFD) components of the mixed signal obtained by ICA. The TFD components are grouped by hierarchical clustering and k-mean partitional clustering. The distance between TFD components is measured with the classical Euclidean distance and the β distance of Gaussian distribution introduced by as. In addition, the TFD components are grouped by minimizing the negentropy of reconstructed constituent signals. The proposed method was used to separate source signals from single audio mixes of two- and three-component signals. The separation was performed...
BLIND AUDIO SOURCE SEPARATION IN TIME DOMAIN USING ICA DECOMPOSITION
Algorithms for Blind Audio Source Separation (BASS) in time domain can be categories as based on complete decomposition or based on complete decomposition. Partial decomposition of observation space leads to additional computational complexity and burden, to minimize resource requirement complete decomposition technique is preferred. In this script an optimized divergence based ICA technique is proposed to perform ICA decomposition. After decomposition components having similar behaviour are grouped in form of clusters and source signals are reconstructed. The authors implemented complete decomposition for BASS using ICA methods and K-mean cluster technique is introduced. For performance evaluation a three source and three microphones combination is used and result advocates complete decomposition by optimized ICA is a better option than other methods in competition for audio source separation in blind scenario .
