This study introduces an optimal time-domain algorithm for signal compression, specifically applied to electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. The method uses line segment coding to minimize distortion, outperforming traditional and frequency-domain approaches.

Area of Science:

  • Signal Processing
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computer Science

Background:

  • Signal compression is crucial across various applications.
  • Traditional electrocardiogram (ECG) signal compression often relies on heuristic methods.
  • Existing methods may not achieve optimal reconstruction accuracy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel time-domain algorithm for signal compression using optimal line segment coding.
  • To apply and evaluate this algorithm for electrocardiogram (ECG) signal compression.
  • To demonstrate the superiority of exact optimization over heuristic and frequency-domain methods.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a time-domain algorithm based on coding line segments for signal approximation.
  • Formulated the compression problem as a graph theory problem to apply optimization theory.
