Zusammenfassung
A significant feature of the coming digital era is the
exponential increase in digital data, obtained from various
signals specially the biomedical signals such as
electrocardiogram (ECG), electroencephalogram (EEG),
electromyogram (EMG) etc. How to transmit or store these
signals efficiently becomes the most important issue. A digital
compression technique is often used to solve this problem.
This paper proposed a comparative study of transform based
approach for ECG signal compression. Adaptive threshold is
used on the transformed coefficients. The algorithm is tested
for 10 different records from MIT-BIH arrhythmia database
and obtained percentage root mean difference as around
0.528 to 0.584% for compression ratio of 18.963:1 to 23.011:1
for DWT. Among DFT, DCT and DWT techniques, DWT has
been proven to be very efficient for ECG signal coding.
Further improvement in the CR is possible by efficient
entropy coding.
