We consider the Blind Source Separation (BSS) problem in the noisy context. We propose a new methodology in order to enhance separation performances in terms of efficiency and robustness. Our approach consists in denoising the observed signals through the minimization of their total variation, and then minimizing divergence separation criteria combined with the total variation of the estimated source signals. We show by the way that the method leads to some projection problems that are solved by means of projected gradient algorithms. The effeciency and robustness of the proposed algorithm using Hellinger divergence, are illustrated and compared with the classical mutual information approach, through numerical simulations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
