Abstract(in English) Recently, the problem of independent component analysis and / or blind signal separation becomes a very popular and emerging field of research, because the problem contains many potential applications, e.g., speech / image enhancement and / or recognition, noise reduction and so on.In such a problem, a priori information we can only utilize is the statistical independency between source signals.However, there must be a time delay in an actual sound field at each observation point.It was pointed out that the performance of separation becomes worse when the observation signals are composed of source signals with time delays.This paper describes practical trials of separating the overlapped signals on the basis of the statistical independency between source signals in a case when the source signals have time delays at each observation point.The estimated signals(corresponding to source signals)are separated from the observed signals by using the non-stationarity of source signals.Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed method is confirmed through computer simulation.
