Compressing electrocardiogram signals using parameterized wavelets
Pages 1348 - 1352
Abstract
A compression method, based on the choice of a wavelet that matches the electrocardiogram signal to be compressed, is proposed in this paper. The scaling filter that minimizes the distortion of the compressed signal are used to determine the wavelet. The scaling filter is used to generate the coefficients of projection of the ECG signal in the scaling and wavelet subspaces, and only the most significant coefficients are retained. Coding methods are applied to the retained coefficients in order to improve the compression.
