Abstract
Compression of bulky electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is a common requirement for most of the computerized applications. In this paper, a new compression and reconstruction technique based on Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) is proposed. The performance evaluation of the proposed technique is based on comparisons of Compression Ratio (CR) and Percent Root mean square Difference (PRD). The compression method consists of mainly five stages: EMD based signal decomposition, downsampling, discrete cosine transform (DCT), window filtering and Huffman encoding. The ECG signal reconstruction method follows the compression process in reverse order. The proposed algorithm is validated by testing on 48 ECG records available in MIT/BIH arrhythmia database. The compression efficiency is evaluated and the average values of CR and PRD are found to be 23.74:1 and 1.49, respectively. The experimental result shows that the proposed method achieves better compression ratio along with better PRD compared to earlier methods.
