This study introduces an efficient sub-band coding method for electrocardiogram (ECG) waveforms, reducing data redundancy for storage and transmission. The novel approach achieves high-fidelity ECG reconstruction with minimal bits per sample.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • High sampling rates for Electrocardiogram (ECG) generate excessive data, complicating storage and transmission.
  • Efficient ECG data compression is crucial for clinical applications while maintaining signal fidelity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present an efficient sub-band coding method for encoding ECG waveforms.
  • To adapt sub-band coding, previously used for speech, to ECG signal compression for the first time.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized quadrature mirror filters (QMF) for frequency band decomposition of ECG signals into six unequal bands.
  • Applied variable bit allocation: more bits for lower frequency bands (high energy) and fewer bits with run-length coding for upper bands (noise-like signals).

Main Results:

  • Achieved an average signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of 29.97 dB for reconstructed ECG waveforms.
  • Demonstrated effective compression at an average bit rate of 0.81 bits per sample.

Conclusions:

  • Sub-band coding is a viable and efficient technique for ECG waveform compression.
  • The proposed method balances data reduction with clinically acceptable fidelity, enabling better storage and transmission of ECG data.
