Abstract

When the source signals are known to be independent, positive and well-grounded which means that they have a non-zero pdf in the region of zero, a few algorithms have been proposed to separate these positive sources. However, in many practical cases, the independent assumption is not always satisfied. In this paper, a new approach is proposed to separate a class of positive sources which are not required to be independent. These source signals can be separated very quickly by using genetic algorithm. The objective function of genetic algorithm is derived from uncorrelated and some special assumptions on such positive source signals. Simulations are employed to illustrate the good performance of our algorithm.
