Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a recent method of blind source separation, it has been employed in medical image processing and structural damge detection. It can extract source signals and the unmixing matrix of the system using mixture signals only. This novel method relies on the assumption that source signals are statistically independent. This paper looks at various measures of statistical independence (SI) employed in ICA, the measures proposed by Bakirov and his associates, and the effects of levels of SI of source signals on the output of ICA. Firstly, two statistical independent signals in the form of uniform random signals and a mixing matrix were used to simulate mixture signals to be anlysed byfastICApackage, secondly noise was added onto the signals to investigate effects of levels of SI on the output of ICA in the form of soure signals, the mixing and unmixing matrix. It was found that for p-value given by Bakirov’s SI statistical testing of the null hypothesis H0is a good indication of the SI between two variables and that for p-value larger than 0.05, fastICA performs satisfactorily.

Novel Method

<p>Recent advancement in bio-medical field has attracted researchers toward BCG signal processing for monitoring the health activities. There have been various techniques for monitoring physical activities such as (SCG) Seismocardiography, Electrocardiography (ECG) etc. BCG signal is a measurement of reaction force applied for cardiac ejection of blood. Various measurement schemes and systems have been developed for BCG detection and measurement such as tables, beds, weighing scale and chairs. Weighing scales have been promising method for measurement of BCG signal because of less cost of implementation, smaller size etc. but these devices still suffer from the artifact which are induced due to subject movement or motion during signal acquisition or it can be caused due to floor vibrations. Artifact removal is necessary for efficient analysis and health monitoring. In this work we address the issue of artifact removal in BCG signal by proposing a novel method of signal processing. According to proposed approach raw signal is pre-processed and parsed to independent component analysis which provides the decomposed components and later k-means is applied to detect the components which are responsible for artifact and removed. Proposed approach is compared with existing method and shows better performance in terms of artifact removal.</p>
