This book provides readers a complete and self-contained set of knowledge about dependent source separation, including the latest development in this field. The book gives an overview on blind source separation where three promising blind separation techniques that can tackle mutually correlated sources are presented. The book further focuses on the non-negativity based methods, the time-frequency analysis based methods, and the pre-coding based methods, respectively.

First book addressing blind separation of mutually correlated sources Presents novel blind source seperation algorithms that are applicable world applications Written by leading experts in the field Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
