From the frequency representation of the "overlap and save", a Weighted General Discrete Fourier Transform (WGDFT) is derived to replace the traditional Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). The mixing matrix on each frequency bin could be estimated more precisely from WGDFT coefficients than from DFT coefficients, which improves separation performance. Simulation results verify the validity of WGDFT for frequency domain blind source separation of convolutive mixtures.展开更多

Based on sliding discrete Fourier transform,the presented deconvolution algorithm can directly recover time-domain sources from frequency-domain convolutive model using single frequency bin. It only needs to execute blind sepa-ration of instantaneous mixture once there are no permutation and amplitude indeterminacy troubles. Compared with former algorithms,the algorithm greatly reduces the computation cost as only one frequency bin is considered. Its good and robust per-formance is demonstrated by simulations when the signal-to-noise-ratio is high.展开更多

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 second order time lagged statistics of mixtures. We then formulate an 11 constrained minimization problem and solve it by an iterative method. Numerical experiments on recorded sound mixtures show that our method is capable of sound separation in low dimensional parameter spaces with good perceptual quality and low correlation coefficient comparable to the known infomax method.展开更多
