基于最小体积约束的频域卷积盲源分离

Frequency-domain Convolutive Blind Source Separation with Minimum Volume Constraint

  • 摘要: 频域盲源分离算法多数基于窄带假设,该假设在长混响环境下不成立。基于卷积传递函数(Convolutive Transfer Function, CTF)的多通道非负矩阵分解(Multichannel Nonnegative Matrix Factorization, MNMF)方法不依赖窄带假设,在长混响环境下的分离性能较其他传统算法有显著提升。但是,非负矩阵分解(NMF)对源信号功率谱进行近似估计在大多数情况下是病态的,其最优解不唯一。本文提出了一种基于最小体积约束的频域卷积盲源分离方法,在多通道非负矩阵分解(CTF-MNMF)的目标函数中,引入NMF基矩阵的最小体积约束来提高问题的适定性和求解参数的可辨识性。采用Majorization-Minimization (MM)优化方法对最小体积约束的目标函数进行求解,导出了估计参数的闭式解。仿真实验表明,在长混响环境下,所提方法比CTF-MNMF具有更好的分离性能。

     

    Abstract: ‍ ‍Most frequency-domain blind source separation algorithms are based on the narrow-band assumption, which is no longer applicable in the long reverberation environment. The convolutive transfer function-based multichannel nonnegative matrix factorization (CTF-MNMF) does not rely on the narrow-band assumption, and the separation performance in the long reverberation environment is significantly improved compared with other traditional methods. However, the nonnegative matrix factorization (NMF) approximates the power spectrum of source signal, which is ill-posed in most cases, and the optimal solution is non-unique. In this paper, a frequency-domain blind source separation method with minimum volume constraint is proposed. Minimum volume constraint of the NMF basis matrix is added into the objective function of CTF-MNMF, aiming at improve the fitness of the problem and the discriminability of the estimated parameters. Majorization-Minimization (MM) optimization method is used to solve the objective function with the minimum volume constraint, and the closed-form solution of the estimated parameters is derived. Simulation experiments show that the separation performance of the method is significantly improved compared with the CTF-MNMF method in a long reverberation environment.
