Abstract

We recently proposed a new method based on spectral decorrelation for blindly separating linear instantaneous mixtures of nonstationary sources. In this paper, we propose a generalization of this method to FIR convolutive mixtures using a second-order approach based on block-diagonalization of covariance matrices in the frequency domain. Contrary to similar time or time-frequency domain methods, our approach requires neither the piecewise stationarity of the sources nor their sparseness. The simulation results show the better performance of our approach compared to these methods.
