Sparsity and low-rank amplitude based blind Source Separation
Fangchen Feng, Matthieu Kowalski · 2017
This paper presents a new method for blind source separation problem in reverberant environments with more sources than microphones. Based on the sparsity property in the time-frequency domain and the low-rank assumption of the spectrogram of the source, the STRAUSS (SparsiTy and low-Rank AmplitUde based Source Separation) method is developed. Numerical evaluations show that the proposed method outperforms the existing multichannel NMF approaches, while it is exclusively based on amplitude information.
