Speech enhancement aims to improve speech quality by removing background noise from noisy speech. Independent vector analysis is a type of frequency-domain independent component analysis method that is known to be free from the frequency bin permutation problem in the process of blind source separation from multi-channel inputs. This paper proposed a new method of microphone array based speech enhancement that combines independent vector analysis and beamforming techniques. Independent vector analysis is used to separate speech and noise components from multi-channel noisy speech, and delay-sum beamforming is used to determine the enhanced speech among the separated signals. To verify the effectiveness of the proposed method, experiments for computer simulated multi-channel noisy speech with various signal-to-noise ratios were carried out, and both PESQ and output signal-to-noise ratio were obtained as objective speech quality measures. Experimental results have shown that the proposed method is superior to the conventional microphone array based noise removal approach like GSC beamforming in the speech enhancement.

본 논문에서는 잡음이 포함된 4채널의 음원신호를 주파수 대역의 독립벡터분석 알고리즘에 의하여 깨끗한 음성신호와 혼합잡음신호를 분리하는 기법을 먼저 제안한다. 제안한 독립벡터분석 알고리즘에 의하여 분리된 음원신호를 주파수대역 지연합 빔형성기로부터 출력되는 신호와 독립벡터분석으로부터 분리된 출력신호 간의 상호 상관성을 이용하여 향상된 출력음성신호를 구한다. 본 실험에서는 백색잡음이 포함된 0dB, -5dB의 SNR의 입력 혼합잡음음성에 대하여, 본 논문에서 제안하고 있는 알고리즘이 주파수대역 지연합 빔형성기 알고리즘만을 사용하였을 때 보다 최대 10.90dB의 SNR 및 10.02dB의 Segmental SNR이 개선되었음을 확인하였다. 따라서 본 논문의 알고리즘 기법이 주파수대역 지연합 빔형성기와 비교하여 음성품질이 향상된 것을 실험 및 고찰을 통하여 확인할 수 있었다.

Signal is composed of the independent components that can describe itself. These components can distinguish itself from any other signals and be extracted by analysis itself. This algorithm is called Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and image signal is considered as linear combination of independent components and features that is the weighted vector of independent component. This algorithm is already used in order to extract the good feature for image classification and very effective In this paper, we'll explain the method of stereo matching using independent component analysis and show the experimental result.

An improvement to the existing blind signal separation (BSS) method has been made in this paper. The proposed method models the inherent signal dependency observed in acoustic object to separate the real-world convolutive sound mixtures. The frequency domain approach requires solving the well known permutation problem, and the problem had been successfully solved by a vector representation of the sources whose multidimensional joint densities have a certain amount of dependency expressed by non-spherical distributions. Especially for speech signals, we observe strong dependencies across neighboring frequency bins and the decrease of those dependencies as the bins become far apart. The non-spherical joint density model proposed in this paper reflects this property of real-world speech signals. Experimental results show the improved performances over the spherical joint density representations.

This paper proposes a new dead time compensation method of independent six-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors (IS-PMSM). The current of the independent phase machines contains odd-numbered harmonics because of the dead time and the nonlinear characteristics of the switching devices. By using the d-q-n three-dimensional vector analysis, these harmonics can be extracted at the n-axis current. Thus, the current distortion can be compensated by controlling the n-axis current of the IS-PMSM to zero. The proposed method is simple and can be easily implemented without additional hardware setup. The validity of the proposed compensation method is verified with simulations and several experiments.

Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is used to generate ICA filter for computing feature vector for image window. Filters that have high discrimination power are selected to classify image from these ICA filters. Proposed classification algorithm is based on probability distribution of feature vector.

본 논문은 두 가지 비교 실험을 통하여 효과적 음성인식 시스템을 제안한다. 분별적 이진 패턴 분류기인 SVM(Support Vector Machines)은 특징 공간에서 비선형 경계를 찾아 분류하는 방법으로 적은 학습 데이터에서도 좋은 분류 성능을 나타낸다고 알려져 있다. 본 논문에서는 학습데이터 수에 따른 HMM(Hidden Markov Model)과 SVM의 인식 성능을 비교하고, 최적의 특징 파라메터를 선택하기 위해 SVM을 이용하여 주성분해석과 독립성분분석을 적용하여 MFCC(Mel Frequency Cepstrum Coefficient)의 특징 공간을 변화시키면서 각각의 인식 성능을 비교 검토하였다. 실험 결과 SVM은 HMM에 비해 적은 학습데이터에서도 높은 인식 성능을 보여주었고, 독립성분분석에 의한 특징 파라메터가 특징 공간상에서의 높은 선형 분별성에 의해 다른 특징 파라메터보다 인식 성능에서 우수함을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Sparse coding은 최소한의 active한 (non-orthogonal) basis vector를 이용하여 데이터를 표시하는 하나의 방법이다. Sparse coding에서 basis coefficient들이 statistically independent 하다는 constraint를 주기에 sparse coding은 independent component analysis(ICA)와 밀접한 관계를 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 sparse representation을 위하여 super-Gaussian prior를 이용한 ICA, 즉 sparse ICA 방법을 제시한다. Sparse ICA 방법을 이용하여 natural scenes의 basis vector를 찾고 이와 sparse coding과의 관계를 고찰한다. 여러 가지 super-Gaussian prior들을 고려하지 않고 이들이 ICA에 미치는 영향에 대해 살펴본다.

EEG-based brain-computer interfaces has focused on explicitly expressed intentions to assist physically impaired patients. For EEG-based-computer interfaces to function effectively, it should be able to understand users' implicit information. Since it is hard to gather EEG signals of human brains, we do not have enough training data which are essential for proper classification performance of implicit intention. In this paper, we improve the subject independent classification of implicit intention through the generation of additional training data. In the first stage, we perform the PCA (principal component analysis) of training data in a bid to remove redundant components in the components within the input data. After the dimension reduction by PCA, we train ICA (independent component analysis) network whose outputs are statistically independent. We can get additional training data by adding Gaussian noises to ICA outputs and projecting them to input data domain. Through simulations with EEG data provided by CNSL, KAIST, we improve the classification performance from 65.05% to 66.69% with Gamma components. The proposed sample generation method can be applied to any machine learning problem with fewer samples.

In the present study, we proposed a new subspace scanning algorithm to enhance the spatial resolution of electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography(MEG) source localization. Subspace scanning algorithms, represented by the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm and the first principal vector (FINE) algorithm, have been widely used to localize asynchronous multiple dipolar sources in human cerebral cortex. The conventional MUSIC algorithm used principal component analysis (PCA) to extract the noise vector subspace, thereby having difficulty in discriminating two or more closely-spaced cortical sources. The FINE algorithm addressed the problem by using only a part of the noise vector subspace, but there was no golden rule to determine the number of noise vectors. In the present work, we estimated a non-orthogonal signal vector set using independent component analysis (ICA) instead of using PCA and performed the source scanning process in the signal vector subspace, not in the noise vector subspace. Realistic 2D and 3D computer simulations, which compared the spatial resolutions of various algorithms under different noise levels, showed that the proposed ICA-MUSIC algorithm has the highest spatial resolution, suggesting that it can be a useful tool for practical EEG/MEG source localization.
