This study presents a novel non-orthogonal discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for electrocardiogram (ECG) signal compression. The new method achieves lower signal distortion (PRD) than existing techniques, effectively preserving crucial clinical features.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal compression is vital for efficient data storage and transmission.
  • Existing compression techniques face challenges in balancing signal distortion minimization with the retention of clinically significant features.
  • The percent root-mean square difference (PRD) is a standard metric for signal distortion, but a comparable standard for feature retention is lacking.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce an effective ECG signal compression technique using a novel non-orthogonal discrete wavelet transform (DWT).
  • To evaluate the performance of the proposed DWT in minimizing signal distortion (PRD) and retaining clinically significant ECG features.
  • To compare the proposed technique against established methods like W-transform and Daubechies D(4) orthogonal transform.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a new class of non-orthogonal discrete wavelet transform (DWT).
  • Calculation of DWT coefficients to minimize the least mean square difference between original and reconstructed ECG signals.
  • Implementation of ECG compression algorithm and comparison using PRD metric.
  • Testing on signals of arbitrary lengths, not restricted to powers of 2.

Main Results:

  • The proposed non-orthogonal DWT technique yields the lowest PRD compared to W-transform and Daubechies D(4) orthogonal transform.
  • Signal decomposition up to the fourth level is sufficient for minimum PRD, irrespective of signal length.
  • Optimal transform for compression ratios < 10 is achieved with a single ECG period; higher compression ratios benefit from longer signals.

Conclusions:

  • The novel non-orthogonal DWT offers superior ECG compression performance, achieving lower PRD than existing methods.
  • The technique effectively preserves clinically significant ECG features while minimizing distortion.
  • The proposed method is robust for signals of arbitrary lengths and provides efficient compression across different compression ratios.
