Abstract

In this paper, we discussed the separation of n sources from m linear mixtures when the underlying system is underdetermined, that is, when m n. The underdetermined blind sources separation has two steps. In matrix-recovery step, we defined a characteristic of the signals as the durative-sparsity and proposed a novel approach called as a searching-and-averaging-based method in frequency domain. This approach tells us how to search some data points that are very close to the basis lines along the direction of basis vectors a j and how to use them to estimate the mixing matrix. In source-recovery step, we used Bofill and Zibulevsky's shortest-path algorithm. Finally, the separation results were obtained using their short-time Fourier transforms.
