Abstract

In this paper, we explore the problem of sound source separation and identification from a two-sensor instantaneous mixture. The estimation of the mixing and the sources is performed using Laplacian mixture models (LMM). The proposed algorithm fits the model using batch processing of the observed data and performs separation using either a hard or a soft decision scheme. An extension of the algorithm to online source separation, where the samples are arriving in a real-time fashion, is also presented. The online version demonstrates several promising source separation possibilities in the case of nonstationary mixing.
