In this study, cross-talk cancellation in convolutive blind source separation (BSS) is investigated using a new post-processing algorithm. In this algorithm, exclusive activity periods (EAPs) are used to model cross-talks in which only one BSS output signal is assumed to be active. Inactive intervals of each EAP are used to estimate the cross-talk leaked from each active signal. Then, the estimated cross-talk is subtracted from BSS outputs. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm successfully suppresses the crosstalk by improving the signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) and signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR) of BSS outputs about 12 and 5 dB, respectively.
