Blind Separation of Time-Delayed and Convolved Sources

  • Chapter
Independent Component Analysis

Abstract

This chapter considers the multichannel blind deconvolution problem. Blind deconvolution refers to the problem of determining the impulse response of a system where the output is usually accessible and the system as well as the input are inaccessible. Multichannel blind deconvolution refers to the fact that multiple channels are observable and multiple sources are mixed and convolved simultaneously.

We know that this is our son, and that he was born blind. But by what means he now seeth, we know not or who hath opened his eyes, we know not . . .

Notes

  1. Its name is due to statistics of the deconvolved signal which are approximately Bussgang (Bellini, 1994). The Bussgang statistic refers to Bussgang at Bell Labs who found that the autocorrelation and the correlation between the signal and its nonlinearly transformed signal exhibit the same characteristics.

  2. A model that can measure the power spectrum with a pole-zero transfer function

  3. The natural gradient is also valid in the multichannel case (Amari et al., 1997b).
