Multiple source localization using independent component analysis

This paper presents a method for estimating location information about multiple sources. The proposed method uses independent component analysis (ICA) as a main statistical tool. The near-field model as well as the far-field model can be assumed in this method. As an application of the method, we show experimental results for the direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of three sources that were positioned 3-dimensionally.
