Signal and image source separations by wavelet analysis

Blind Source Separation (BSS) is one of the hottest emerging areas in signal processing. The purpose of BSS is to separate and to estimate the original sources from the sensor array, without knowing the transmission channel characteristics. Besides methods based on independent component analysis which is one of the most powerful tools for BSS, several methods based on time-frequency analysis have been proposed. One of them is the quotient signal estimation method which can estimate the unknown number of sources. We present a new method using wavelet analysis and apply it to signal and image source separations.
