Abstract
Methods, apparatus and techniques for acquiring output signals associated with different sources (such as audio sources) are presented. A first input signal is combined with a delayed and scaled version of a second input signal, to acquire a first output signal. A second input signal is combined with a delayed and scaled version of the first input signal, to acquire a second output signal. Using a random direction optimization, scaling values (forming a candidates' vector) are determined by iteratively modifying the candidates' vector. A Kullback-Leibler divergence is measured. The first output signal and the second output signal are selected to be those measurements associated with the candidate parameters associated with Kullback-Leibler divergence which indicates lowest similarity.
