ABSTRACT

Brief presents an efficient very-large-scale

integration architecture design for

convolutive blind source separation (CBSS).

The CBSS separation network derived from

the information maximization (Infomax)

approach is adopted. The proposed CBSS

chip design consists mainly of Infomax

filtering modules and scaling factor

computation modules. In an Infomax

filtering module, input samples are filtered

by an Infomax filter with the weights

updated by Infomax-driven stochastic

learning rules. As for the scaling factor

computation module, all operations

including logistic sigmoid are integrated and

implemented by the circuit design based on

a piecewise-linear approximation scheme.

The proposed prototype chipis implemented

via a semicustom design using90-nmCMOS

technology on a die size of approximately

0.54×0.54 mm2.

I. INTRODUCTION

Blind source separation (BSS) attempts to

separate sources from mixed signals when

most of the information for sources and

mixing process is unknown. Such

restrictions make BSS a challenging task for

researchers. BSS has become a very

important research topic in a lot of fields.

Notable examples include audio signal

processing, biomedical signal processing,

communication systems, and image

processing . Without a filtering effect,

instantaneous mixing is considered a simple

version of the mixing process of the source

signals. However, for audio sources passing

through an environmental filtering before

arriving at the microphones, a convolutive

mixing process occurs, and convolutive BSS

(CBSS) is used to recover the original audio

sources. Independent component analysis

(ICA) is the conventional means of solving

the BSS or CBSS problem. However, this

method is often highly computationally

intensive and introduces time-consuming

processes for software implementation.

More than a faster solution than software

implementation, hardware solution achieves

optimal parallelism. Providing hardware

solutions for ICA-based BSS has drawn

considerable attention recently. Cohen and

Andreou explored the feasibility of

combining above-andsubthreshold CMOS

circuit techniques for implementing an

analog BSS chip that integrates an analog

I/O interface, weight coefficients, and

adaptation blocks. This chip incorporates the

use of the Herault–Jutten ICA algorithm.

Cho and Lee implemented a fully analog

CMOS chip based on information

maximization (Infomax) ICA, as developed

by Bell and Sejnowski. The chip

incorporated a modular architecture to

extend its use as a multichip. Apart from

these analog BSS chips, various

fieldprogrammable gate array(FPGA)

implementations with digital architectures

have been developed. Li and Lin realized the

Infomax BSS algorithm based on system- level FPGA design, by using Quartus II,

DSP builder, and Simulink. Du and Qi

presented an FPGA implementation for the

parallel ICA (pICA) algorithm, which

focuses on reducing dimensionality in

hyperspectral image analysis. The pICA

algorithm consists of three temporally

independent functional modules that are

synthesized individually with some

reconfigurable components developed for

reuse. Based on Infomax BSS, Ounas et al.

introduced a low-cost digital architecture

implemented on FPGA. This design used

merely one neuron to support sequential

operations of the neurons in neural network.

In 2008, Shyu et al.designed a pipelined

architecture for FPGA implementation based

on FastICA for separating mixtures of

biomedical signals, including

electroencephalogram (EEG), magneto

encephalography (MEG), and

electrocardiogram (ECG). In this design,

floating-point arithmetic units were used to

increase the precision of the numbers and

ensure the FastICA performance.

II. LITERATURE SURVEY

Separating brain imaging signals by

maximizing their autocorrelations is an

important component of blind source

separation (BSS). Canonical correlation

analysis (CCA), one of leading BSS

techniques, has been widely used for

analyzing optical imaging (OI) and

functional magnetic resonance imaging

(fMRI) data. However, because of the need

to reduce dimensionality and ignore spatial

autocorrelation, CCA is problematic for

separating temporal signal sources. To solve

the problems of CCA, "straightforward

image projection" (SIP) has been

incorporated into temporal BSS. This novel

method, termed low-dimensional canonical

correlation analysis (LD-CCA), relies on the

spatial and temporal autocorrelations of all

genuine signals of interest. Incorporating

both spatial and temporal information, here

we introduce a "generalized timecourse"

technique in which data are artificially

reorganized prior to separation. The quantity

of spatial plus temporal autocorrelations can

then be defined. By maximizing temporal

and spatial autocorrelations in combination,

LD-CCA is able to obtain expected "real"

signal sources. Generalized timecourses are

low-dimensional, eliminating the need for

dimension reduction. This removes the risk

of discarding useful information. The new

method is compared with temporal CCA and

temporal independent component analysis

(tICA). Comparison of simulated data

showed that LD-CCA was more effective

for recovering signal sources. Comparisons

using real intrinsic OI and fMRI data also

supported the validity of LD-CCA. Online

blind source separation (BSS) is proposed to

overcome the high computational cost

problem, which limits the practical

applications of traditional batch BSS

algorithms

III PROPOSED VLSI BLIND SOURCE

SEPARATOR

The proposed CBSS system is shown in the

FIG.1. The CBSS chip mainly consists of

two functional cores: Infomax filtering

module and scaling factor computation

module. Additionally, the Infomax filtering

outputs are added with the help of two small

carry-save adders (CSAs). The current

prototype chip is used for two sources and

two sensors by utilizing four Infomax

filtering modules along with two scaling
