The theoretical bases behind the direct ECG data compression schemes are presented and classified into three categories: tolerance-comparison compression, DPCM, and entropy coding methods and a framework for evaluation and comparison of ECG compression schemes is presented.
Abstract
Electrocardiogram (ECG) compression techniques are compared, and a unified view of these techniques is established. ECG data compression schemes are presented in two major groups: direct data compression and transformation methods. The direct data compression techniques are ECG differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) and entropy coding, AZTEC, Turning-point, CORTES, Fan and SAPA algorithms, peak-picking, and cycle-to-cycle compression methods. The transformation methods include Fourier, Walsh, and Karhunen-Loeve transforms. The theoretical bases behind the direct ECG data compression schemes are presented and classified into three categories: tolerance-comparison compression, DPCM, and entropy coding methods. A framework for evaluation and comparison of ECG compression schemes is presented. >

A Lossless Characteristic Compression Method for Continuous Arterial Pulse Waveforms

TL;DR: In this article, a spline function is used to interpolate the original waveform at preselected sample points first and then a second stage compression is accompanied by using 12-bit digital data representation to store sample points and coefficients for each interval.

Arithmetic coding for data compression

TL;DR: The state of the art in data compression is arithmetic coding, not the better-known Huffman method, which gives greater compression, is faster for adaptive models, and clearly separates the model from the channel encoding.

Orthogonal transforms for digital signal processing

TL;DR: The utility and effectiveness of these transforms are evaluated in terms of some standard performance criteria such as computational complexity, variance distribution, mean-square error, correlated rms error, rate distortion, data compression, classification error, and digital hardware realization.
