Given the prevalence of independent component analysis (ICA) for signal processing, many methods for improving the convergence properties of ICA have been introduced. The most utilized methods operate by iterative rotations over pre-whitened data, whereby limiting the space of estimated demixing mat…
Due to the wide use of multi-sensor technology, analysis of multiple sets of data is at the heart of many challenging engineering problems. Independent vector analysis (IVA), a recent generalization of independent component analysis (ICA), enables the joint analysis of datasets and extraction of lat…
Independent component analysis (ICA) has found wide application in a variety of areas, and analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data has been a particularly fruitful one. Maximum likelihood provides a natural formuiation for ICA and allows one to take into account multiple statis…
Independent component analysis (ICA) is a powerful method for blind source separation based on the assumption that sources are statistically independent. Though ICA has proven useful and has been employed in many applications, complete statistical independence can be too restrictive an assumption in…
The existence of complementary information across multiple sensors has driven the proliferation of multivariate datasets. Exploitation of this common information, while minimizing the assumptions imposed on the data has led to the popularity of data-driven methods. Independent vector analysis (IVA),…
Automated detection of abandoned object (AO) is an important application in video surveillance for security purposes. Because of its importance, a number of techniques have been proposed to automatically detect abandoned objects in the past years. However, these techniques require prior knowledge on…
The estimation of a probability density function is one of the most fundamental problems in statistics. The goal is achieving a desirable balance between flexibility while maintaining as simple a form as possible to allow for generalization, and efficient implementation. In this paper, we use the ma…
