  • Abstract
    The technique of blind source separation (BSS) has been well studied. In this paper, we apply the BSS technique, particularly based on independent component analysis (ICA), to a meeting situation. The goal is to enhance the spoken utterances and to estimate the location of each speaker by means of multiple microphones. The technique may help us to take the minutes of a meeting.
