BSS_EVAL
A toolbox for performance measurement in (blind) source separation
Developed with the support of the French
GdR-ISIS/CNRS Workgroup ``Resources for
Audio Source Separation''
Purpose
BSS_EVAL is a MATLAB toolbox to compute performance
measures in (blind) source separation within an evaluation framework where the original sources are
available as ground truth [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]. The measures are based on a decomposition of each
estimated source into four contributions corresponding to the target source, interferences of unwanted sources, remaining additive
noise and artifacts such as "musical noise". They are valid for
all usual types of signals, such as real-valued audio or biomedical signals or complex-valued subbands of these signals.
What it can do / what it cannot do
BSS_EVAL can measure
the performance of source separation algorithms, including in
convolutive or time-varying settings. However, BSS_EVAL cannot separate sources: it does
not implement any BSS algorithm.
Examples
