Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Data Compression

Background:

  • Wavelet-based approaches offer excellent reconstruction quality for compressed medical signals like ECG.
  • The percent of root-mean-square difference (PRD) is a standard objective quality metric for ECG compression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an algorithm that automatically finds an appropriate bit rate for wavelet-based ECG compression to meet a user-specified PRD.
  • To ensure the bit rate search is automatic, smooth, and fast.

Main Methods:

  • Modeled bit rate searching as a root-finding problem for a one-dimensional function (rate-distortion curve).
  • Applied numerical analysis root-finding methods to determine the optimal bit rate.
  • Integrated the solution into the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) coding strategy.
