Blind Extraction of Moving Sources Via Independent Component and Vector Analysis: Examples.

This paper is devoted to the recently proposed mixing model with constant separating vector (CSV) for Blind Source Extraction of moving sources using the FastDIVA algorithm, which is an extension of the famous FastICA and FastIVA for static mixtures. The benefits due to the CSV model and FastDIVA are demonstrated in three new applications. First, the extraction of a moving speaker in a noisy reverberant environment using a dense array of 48 MEMS microphones is considered. Second, a case study on the blind extraction of moving brain activity from visually evoked potentials in electroencephalogram is reported. Third, a simulation of block-by-block online extraction of a moving source is demonstrated. In these examples, the CSV and FastDIVA show their new potential and good performance in handling the blind moving source extraction problem.
