Abstract

Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is an emerging field of fundamental research with a wide range of applications such as remote sensing, data communications, speech processing and medical diagnosis. It is motivated by practical scenarios that involve multi-sources and multi-sensors. The key objective of ICA is to retrieve the source signals without resorting to any a priori information about the source signals and the transmission channel. ICA using second-order statistics and high-order statistics based techniques and the corresponding algorithms are presented to perform the blind separation of stationary or cyclostationary sources. In the last part of the paper, a case study with real data having as subject dams displacements monitoring will be presented.
