Blind image separation based on exponentiated transmuted Weibull distribution

In recent years the processing of blind image separation has been investigated. As a result, a number of feature extraction algorithms for direct application of such image structures have been developed. For example, separation of mixed fingerprints found in any crime scene, in which a mixture of two or more fingerprints may be obtained, for identification, we have to separate them. In this paper, we have proposed a new technique for separating a multiple mixed images based on exponentiated transmuted Weibull distribution. To adaptively estimate the parameters of such score functions, an efficient method based on maximum likelihood and genetic algorithm will be used. We also calculate the accuracy of this proposed distribution and compare the algorithmic performance using the efficient approach with other previous generalized distributions. We find from the numerical results that the proposed distribution has flexibility and an efficient resultComment: 14 pages, 12 figures, 4 tables.

ICA and Sparse ICA for Biomedical Signals

Biomedical signs or bio signals are a wide range of signals obtained from the human body that can be at the cell organ or sub-atomic level Electromyogram refers to electrical activity from muscle sound signals electroencephalogram refers to electrical activity from the encephalon electrocardiogram refers to electrical activity from the heart electroretinogram refers to electrical activity from the eye and so on Monitoring and observing changes in these signals assist physicians whose work is related to this branch of medicine in covering predicting and curing various diseases It can also assist physicians in examining prognosticating and curing numerous condition

Blind Source Separation Based on Covariance Ratio and Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

The computation amount in blind source separation based on bioinspired intelligence optimization is high. In order to solve this problem, we propose an effective blind source separation algorithm based on the artificial bee colony algorithm. In the proposed algorithm, the covariance ratio of the signals is utilized as the objective function and the artificial bee colony algorithm is used to solve it. The source signal component which is separated out, is then wiped off from mixtures using the deflation method. All the source signals can be recovered successfully by repeating the separation process. Simulation experiments demonstrate that significant improvement of the computation amount and the quality of signal separation is achieved by the proposed algorithm when compared to previous algorithms

Non-orthogonal joint block diagonalization based on the LU or QR factorizations for convolutive blind source separation

This article addresses the problem of blind source separation, in which the source signals are most often of the convolutive mixtures, and moreover, the source signals cannot satisfy independent identical distribution generally. One kind of prevailing and representative approaches for overcoming these difficulties is joint block diagonalization (JBD) method. To improve present JBD methods, we present a class of simple Jacobi-type JBD algorithms based on the LU or QR factorizations. Using Jacobi-type matrices we can replace high dimensional minimization problems with a sequence of simple one-dimensional problems. The novel methods are more general i.e. the orthogonal, positive definite or symmetric matrices and a preliminary whitening stage is no more compulsorily required, and further, the convergence is also guaranteed. The performance of the proposed algorithms, compared with the existing state-of-the-art JBD algorithms, is evaluated with computer simulations and vibration experimental. The results of numerical examples demonstrate that the robustness and effectiveness of the two novel algorithms provide a significant improvement i.e., yield less convergence time, higher precision of convergence, better success rate of block diagonalization. And the proposed algorithms are effective in separating the vibration signals of convolutive mixtures
