MULTI-CHANNEL BLIND SOURCE SEPARATION MECHANISM FOR SOLVING THE PERMUTATION AMBIGUITY

摘要

A method and an apparatus for solving the permutation ambiguity of a separation coefficient of a multi-channel mixed signal are provided to prevent the mixing of different sound source signals, thereby accurately separating an original signal from the mixed signal. An ICA(Independent Component Analysis) input matrix is created in a row vector type of a back-mixing matrix corresponding to a separation coefficient(401). A base vector matrix and a deflection coefficient matrix are extracted using the created ICA method(402). A base vector index value regarding a column vector of a mixing vector is selected by comparing the extracted base vector matrix and deflection coefficient matrix with each other(403). A corresponding clustering including the column vector of the mixing vector is determined based on the selected base vector index value(404).
