Special Issue on
Advances in Blind Source Separation
Call for Papers
Almost every multichannel measurement includes mixtures of signals from several underlying sources. While the structure of the mixing process may be known to some degree, other unknown parameters are necessary to demix the measured sensor data. The time courses of the source signals and/or their locations in the source space are often unknown a priori and can only be estimated by statistical means. In the analysis of such measurements, it is essential to separate the mixed signals before beginning postprocessing.
Blind source separation (BSS) techniques then allow separation of the source signals from the measured mixtures. Many BSS problems may be solved using independent component analysis (ICA) or alternative approaches such as sparse component analysis (SCA) or nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF), evolving from information theoretical assumptions that the underlying sources are mutually statistically independent, sparse, smooth, and/or nonnegative.
The aim of this special issue is to focus on recent developments in this expanding research area.
The special issue will focus on one hand on theoretical approaches for single- and multichannel BSS, evolving from information theory, and especially on nonlinear blind source separation methods, and on the other hand or their currently ever-widening range of applications such as brain imaging, image coding and processing, dereverberation in noisy environments, and so forth.
