An LZ approach to ECG compression
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two highly effective families of lossless compression methods were created by Ziv and Lempel. However, these methods are normally ineffective when applied to digitized signals. We have successfully adapted the LZ77 method to take advantage of the repetitive nature of ECG waveforms. In our experiments, the resulting algorithm produces much better compression ratios than competing techniques while retaining the essential characteristics of the waveform.

Using Lempel–Ziv Complexity to Assess ECG Signal Quality
The poor quality of wireless electrocardiography (ECG) recordings can lead to misdiagnosis and waste of medical resources. This study presents an interpretation of Lempel-Ziv (LZ) complexity in terms of ECG quality assessment, and verifies its performance on real ECG signals. Firstly, LZ complexities for typical signals, namely high-frequency (HF) noise, low-frequency (LF) noise, power-line (PL...
متن کاملA Reliable LZ Data Compressor on Reconfigurable Coprocessors
Data compression techniques based on Lempel-Ziv (LZ) algorithm are widely used in a variety of applications, especially in data storage and communications. However, since the LZ algorithm involves a considerable amount of parallel comparisons, it may be difficult to achieve a very high throughput using software approaches on generalpurpose processors. In addition, error propagation due to singl...

In this paper the need for employing a data reduction algorithm in using digital graphic systems to display biomedical signals is firstly addressed and then, some such algorithms are compared from different points of view (such as complexity, real time feasibility, etc.). Subsequently, it is concluded that Turning Point algorithm can be a suitable one for real time implementation on a microproc...
متن کاملDifferential Ziv-Lempel Text Compression
We describe a novel text compressor which combines Ziv-Lempel compression and arithmetic coding with a form of vector quantisation. The resulting compressor resembles an LZ-77 compressor, but with no explicit phrase lengths or coding for literals. An examination of the limitations on its performance leads to some predictions of the limits of LZ-77 compression in general, showing that the LZ-77 ...
متن کاملAutomata on Lempel-ziv Compressed Strings
Using the Lempel-Ziv-78 compression algorithm to compress a string yields a dictionary of substrings, i.e. an edge-labelled tree with an order-compatible enumeration, here called an LZ-trie. Queries about strings translate to queries about LZ-tries and hence can in principle be answered without decompression. We compare notions of automata accepting LZ-tries and consider the relation between ac...
