Blind separation of images

Abstract

The problem of separating two uncorrelated images from two observed mixtures of these images is considered in this paper. Each observed image is modeled as the sum of one original image and another original image filtered through a two dimensional FIR filter. An algorithm, to estimate these filters, is presented from a separation structure and a minimization of a criterion based on second order statistics. This separation structure can be used in order to extract two uncorrelated images. Simulation results are also presented.
