Effect of the Whitening Matrix in Determining the Final Solution in Blind Source Separation of Biomedical Signals.

摘要

In this paper, independent component analysis (ICA) is used for blind source separation of biomedical signals. Visual and quantitative tests of the ability of ICA to separate signals were performed using a fast ICA algorithm. Results obtained from simulated and FECG signals show that the ICA performance using the whitening matrix of the mixed signals was superior to that of random initial weights.
