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. International Journal of Computer

Multichannel blind deconvolution using a generalized Gaussian source model
In this paper, we present an algorithm for the problem of multi-channel blind deconvolution which can adapt to un-known sources with both sub-Gaussian and super-Gaussian probability density distributions using a generalized gaussian source model. We use a state space representation to model the mixer and demixer respectively, and show how the parameters of the demixer can be adapted using a gradient descent algorithm incorporating the natural gradient extension. We also present a learning method for the unknown parameters of the generalized Gaussian source model. The performance of the proposed generalized Gaussian source model on a typical example is compared with those of other algorithm, viz the switching nonlinearity algorithm proposed by Lee et al.

β-Divergence Nonnegative Matrix Factorization on Biomedical Blind Source Separation
β-divergence has been studied for years, but it is yet to be discovered thoroughly. In this paper, we proposed the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) by using β-divergence in blind source separation (BSS) on biomedical field. The proposed idea is basically aimed at the separation of normal heart sound with normal lung sound. Temporal codes and spectral basis were modelled into a separated source, which is applied to the synthesis and real life data using multiplicative update rules. In the experiment, estimated and original source were compared to evaluate the performance of various source separation algorithms within a general framework, where the original sources and the noise that perturbed the mixture were included
Statistical single channel source separation
PhD ThesisSingle channel source separation (SCSS) principally is one of the challenging fields
in signal processing and has various significant applications. Unlike conventional
SCSS methods which were based on linear instantaneous model, this research sets out
to investigate the separation of single channel in two types of mixture which is
nonlinear instantaneous mixture and linear convolutive mixture. For the nonlinear
SCSS in instantaneous mixture, this research proposes a novel solution based on a
two-stage process that consists of a Gaussianization transform which efficiently
compensates for the nonlinear distortion follow by a maximum likelihood estimator to
perform source separation. For linear SCSS in convolutive mixture, this research
proposes new methods based on nonnegative matrix factorization which decomposes a
mixture into two-dimensional convolution factor matrices that represent the spectral
basis and temporal code. The proposed factorization considers the convolutive mixing
in the decomposition by introducing frequency constrained parameters in the model.
The method aims to separate the mixture into its constituent spectral-temporal source
components while alleviating the effect of convolutive mixing. In addition, family of
Itakura-Saito divergence has been developed as a cost function which brings the
beneficial property of scale-invariant. Two new statistical techniques are proposed,
namely, Expectation-Maximisation (EM) based algorithm framework which
maximizes the log-likelihood of a mixed signals, and the maximum a posteriori
approach which maximises the joint probability of a mixed signal using multiplicative
update rules. To further improve this research work, a novel method that incorporates
adaptive sparseness into the solution has been proposed to resolve the ambiguity and
hence, improve the algorithm performance. The theoretical foundation of the proposed
solutions has been rigorously developed and discussed in details. Results have
concretely shown the effectiveness of all the proposed algorithms presented in this
thesis in separating the mixed signals in single channel and have outperformed others
available methods.Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka(UTeM),

One Colored Image Based 2.5d Human Face Reconstruction
2.5D human face is illumination invariant which has a great advantage in face recognition. However, the existing method are linear based and capturing a 2.5D human face involves multi images from the same view point which is impractical in reality. This paper introduces a new nonlinear method for normal Surveillance camera to capture a 2.5D human face data. Only a single image is needed during capturing process by using RGB light sources. The illumination is separated from 2D images by applying ICA (Independent component analysis) method. A nonlinear statistical reflection model is developed through the nonlinear ICA algorithm to compensate nonlinear distortions during image capturing process. The proposed algorithm has achieved excellent features in separating the illumination which yielded very high accuracy of 2.5D human face data recovery
Blind Source Separation On Biomedical Field By Using Nonnegative Matrix Factorization
The study of separating heart from lung sound has been investigated and researched for years. However, a novel
approach based on nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) as a skill of blind source separation (BSS) that utilized in
biomedical field is fresh presented. Lung sound gives beneficial information regarding lung status through respiratory analysis. However, interrupt of heart sound is the obstacle from taking precise and exact information during respiratory analysis. Thus, separation heart sound from lung sound is a way to overcome this issue in order to determine the accuracy of respiratory analysis. This paper proposes factorizations approach that concern on the 2 dimensional which is combination of frequency domain and time domain or well known as NMF2D. The proposed method is developed under the divergence of Least Square Error and Kullback-Leibler and it demonstrates from a single channel source. In this paper, we will forms a multivariate data and it will proceed for dimension reduction by log frequency domain. Experimental tests and comparisons will be made via different divergence to verify and evaluate efficiency of the proposed method in term performance measurement
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
Probabilistic Modelling of Signal Mixtures with Differentiable Dictionaries
We introduce a novel way to incorporate prior information into (semi-)
supervised non-negative matrix factorization, which we call differentiable
dictionary search. It enables general, highly flexible and principled modelling
of mixtures where non-linear sources are linearly mixed. We study its behavior
on an audio decomposition task, and conduct an extensive, highly controlled
study of its modelling capabilities.Comment: Published in the Proceedings of the 29th European Signal Processing
