Abstract:

Blind source separation (BSS) is a crucial method in signal processing widely used across various fields, including imaging, audio, and biological signals. Among its challenges, convolutive BSS stands out, as it deals with separating mixed sources where the mixing is defined by convolution. This project introduces an innovative VLSI (Very Large Scale Integration) design tailored for convolutive blind source separation, targeting the needs for real-time, efficient processing in applications like echo cancellation, audio source separation, and speech enhancement. The proposed VLSI architecture leverages cutting-edge algorithms and hardware advancements to deliver high-precision convolutive BSS with minimal latency. It features multiple processing elements, each tasked with isolating and separating distinct source signals from the observed mixture. These elements employ advanced signal processing techniques and adaptive filtering methods to iteratively enhance source estimations, boosting separation success even amidst fluctuating mixture conditions. Key aspects of the VLSI design encompass parallel processing units, adaptive parameter tuning, and memory-efficient data structures, making it versatile for various real-world scenarios. The architecture adeptly handles different input volumes and adjusts to diverse computational requirements. Experimental results validate the effectiveness and efficiency of this VLSI framework in convolutive BSS environments, showcasing its ability for real-time separation of mixed sources while maintaining superior signal quality. Thanks to its scalability and robustness, this hardware design serves as a powerful asset for signal processing systems that aim to extract meaningful source information from intricate mixes.
