Generalized contrasts for multichannel blind deconvolution of linear systems

Two contrasts for the problem of multichannel blind deconvolution have been given and theoretically studied by Comon [1996]. The maximization of these criteria allows us to solve the problem of multi-input/multi-output (MIMO) blind deconvolution. In this paper, we show that many other contrast functions may be considered. The two aforementioned criteria are proved to be included in the wide class of contrast functions, which is here defined through simple conditions.
