Abstract
There are numerous algorithms available for blind signal separation (BSS) of multiple signals, but most of these are optimised for short blocks of data, stationary signals and time invariant mixing matrices. As such, they are unsuitable for real-world applications, which often require tracking BSS carried out in real time with as small a lag as possible. This paper looks at the problems encountered in applying BSS to real data sets and addresses the issue of computationally efficient tracking BSS based on well-understood two-stage block-based approaches. An example is included where the technique is applied to a five-minute section of twin foetal electrocardiogram (ECG) data.
