A Partitioned Frequency Block Algorithm for Blind Separation in Reverberant Environments

In this paper a blind source separation algorithm in reverberant environment is presented. The algorithms working in such adverse environments are usually characterized by a huge computational cost. In order to reduce the computational complexity of this kind of algorithms a partitioned frequency domain approach is proposed. Several experimental results are shown to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
