A simplified approach to independent component analysis

Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is one of the fastest growing fields in the area of neural networks and signal processing. Blind Source Separation (BSS) is one of the applications of ICA. In this paper, ICA has been used for separating unknown source signals. BSS is used to extract independent signal components from their observed linear mixtures at an array of sensors. Various statistical techniques based on information theoretic and algebraic approaches exist for performing ICA. In this paper, we have used an objective function based on independence criterion of the signals. Optimisation of this objective function yields a neural algorithm along with a non-linear function for signal separation. Performance of the algorithm for artificially generated signals as well as audio signals has been evaluated.     

Extracting post-nonlinear signal with reference

Constrained independent component analysis (cICA) is an important technique which can extract the desired sources from the mixtures. The post-nonlinear (PNL) mixture model is more realistic and accurate than the linear instantaneous mixture model in many practical situations. In this paper, we address the problem of extracting the desired source as the first output from the PNL mixture. The prior knowledge about the desired source, such as its rough template (reference), is assumed to be available. Two approaches of extracting PNL signal with reference are discussed. Then a novel algorithm which alternately optimizes the contrast function and the closeness measure between the estimated output and the reference signal is proposed. The inverse of the unknown nonlinear function in the PNL mixture model is approximated by the multi-layer perception (MLP) network. The correctness and validity of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated by our experiment results.

Blind Source Extraction for Noisy Mixtures by Combining Gaussian Moments and Generalized Autocorrelations

In the blind source extraction problem, the concept of generalized autocorrelations has been successfully used when the desired signal has special temporal structures. However, their applications are only limited to noise-free mixtures, which is not realistic. Therefore, this paper addresses the extraction of the noisy model based on these temporal characteristics of sources. An objective function, which combines Gaussian moments and generalized autocorrelations, is proposed. Maximizing this objective function, we present a blind source extraction algorithm for noisy mixtures. Simulations on synthesized signals, images, artificial electrocardiogram (ECG) data and the real-world ECG data show the better performance of the proposed algorithm. Moreover, comparisons with the existing algorithms further indicate its validity and also show its robustness to the estimated error of time delay.

Atrial fibrillatory signal estimation using blind source extraction algorithm based on high-order statistics

The analysis and the characterization of atrial fibrillation （AF） requires, in a previous key step, the extraction of the atrial activity （AA） free from 12-lead electrocardiogram （ECG）. This contribution proposes a novel non-invasive approach for the AA estimation in AF episodes. The method is based on blind source extraction （BSE） using high order statistics （HOS）. The validity and performance of this algorithm are confirmed by extensive computer simulations and experiments on realworld data. In contrast to blind source separation （BSS） methods, BSE only extract one desired signal, and it is easy for the machine to judge whether the extracted signal is AA source by calculating its spectrum concentration, while it is hard for the machine using BSS method to judge which one of the separated twelve signals is AA source. Therefore, the proposed method is expected to have great potential in clinical monitoring.     

A reference-based blind source extraction algorithm

By utilizing a priori information available as reference, constrained independent component analysis (cICA) or independent component analysis with reference (ICA-R) achieves some advantages over other methods. However, ICA-R is very time-consuming; moreover, it is very difficult to determine its threshold parameter, once the value is improperly chosen the algorithm will fail to converge. In order to overcome these drawbacks, a very simple blind source extraction method, whose optimization function is simply the closeness measure between the desired output and its corresponding reference in ICA-R, is proposed in this paper. Experiments with synthesized data and real-world electrocardiograph data confirm its validity and superiority.

A fast algorithm for one-unit ICA-R

Independent component analysis (ICA) aims to recover a set of unknown mutually independent source signals from their observed mixtures without knowledge of the mixing coefficients. In some applications, it is preferable to extract only one desired source signal instead of all source signals, and this can be achieved by a one-unit ICA technique. ICA with reference (ICA-R) is a one-unit ICA algorithm capable of extracting an expected signal by using prior information. However, a drawback of ICA-R is that it is computationally expensive. In this paper, a fast one-unit ICA-R algorithm is derived. The reduction of the computational complexity for the ICA-R algorithm is achieved through (1) pre-whitening the observed signals; and (2) normalizing the weight vector. Computer simulations were performed on synthesized signals, a speech signal, and electrocardiograms (ECG). Results of these analyses demonstrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed algorithm.

In many applications, such as biomedical engineering, it is often required to extract a desired signal instead of all source signals. This can be achieved by blind source extraction (BSE) or semi-blind source extraction, which is a powerful technique emerging from the neural network field.

Noisy component extraction with reference

Blind source extraction (BSE) is particularly attractive to solve blind signal mixture problems where only a few source signals are desired. Many existing BSE methods do not take into account the existence of noise and can only work well in noise-free environments. In practice, the desired signal is often contaminated by additional noise. Therefore, we try to tackle the problem of noisy component extraction. The reference signal carries enough prior information to distinguish the desired signal from signal mixtures. According to the useful properties of Gaussian moments, we incorporate the reference signal into a negentropy objective function so as to guide the extraction process and develop an improved BSE method. Extensive computer simulations demonstrate its validity in the process of revealing the underlying desired signal.
