Single channel blind source separation based local mean decomposition for Biomedical applications

Single Channel Blind Source Separation (SCBSS) is an extreme case of underdetermined (more sources and fewer sensors) Blind Source Separation (BSS) problem. In this paper, we propose a novel technique using Local Mean Decomposition (LMD) and Independent Component Analysis (ICA) combined with single channel BSS (LMD_ICA). First, the LMD was used to decompose the single channel source into a series of data sequences, which are called as Product Functions (PF), then, ICA algorithm was used to process PFs to get similar independent components and extract the original signals. A comparison was made between LMD_ICA and previously proposed single channel ICA method (EEMD_ICA). The real time experimental results demonstrated the advantage of the proposed single channel source separation method for artifact removal and in biomedical source separation applications.
