Abstract :
To separate speech signals using blind techniques, the DUET algorithm is used in which each source signal is separated by masking the mixed signals in the Time-Frequency domain. To do so, a two dimensional Histogram of mixed parameters is generated which is computationally burden, and thus, can not be used in real-time. In this paper, we introduce a new algorithm in which the separation process can be carried out online. Also, simulation results show that this algorithm has a comparable precision with respect to the DUET algorithm.
