On a Compression Algorthm for Ecg Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper presents a new algorithm for ECG signal compression based on local extreme extraction, adaptive hysteretic filtering and LZW coding. Basically the method consists in smoothing the ECG signal with a Savitzky-Golay filter, extraction of the local minima and maxima, a hysteretic filtering and LZW coding. The reconstruction of the ECG signal is done by cubic interpolation. The algorithm is robust with respect to noise, has a rather small computational complexity and provides good compression ratios with excellent reconstruction quality. The results of the algorithm compare favourably to other algorithms like AZTEC, SAPA, TP, CORTES, SPHIT, JPEG2000 and wavelet-based ECG compressions.

In this paper, we propose an effective compression method for electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. 1-D ECG signals are reconstructed to 2-D ECG data by period and complexity sorting schemes with image compression techniques to increase inter and intra-beat correlation. The proposed method added block division and mean period normalization techniques on top of conventional 2-D data ECG compression m...
