A novel filter bank algorithm enhances electrocardiogram (ECG) signal compression. This method offers superior quality and efficiency compared to wavelet packet techniques for medical signal processing.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) signal compression is crucial for efficient data storage and transmission in healthcare.
  • Existing compression methods face challenges in balancing signal fidelity with compression ratios.
  • Wavelet packet (WP) techniques are commonly used but may have limitations in performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and evaluate a new filter bank-based algorithm for ECG signal compression.
  • To compare the performance of a cosine-modulated filter bank against the wavelet packet technique for ECG compression.
  • To assess compression quality, efficiency, and implementation cost.

Main Methods:

  • A three-stage filter bank-based algorithm was developed for ECG compression.

  • Subband decomposition was performed using a nearly perfect reconstruction (N-PR) cosine-modulated filter bank and wavelet packet (WP) techniques.
  • Signal quality was assessed using Percentage Root-Mean-Square Difference (PRD) and Maximum Amplitude Error (MAX).
  • Compression performance was measured by Mean Number of Bits per Sample (MBPS) and Compression Ratio (CR).

    • Main Results:

    • The N-PR cosine-modulated filter bank demonstrated superior performance over the WP technique.
    • The proposed filter bank method achieved better signal reconstruction quality within accuracy limits.
    • Higher compression ratios and lower bit rates were obtained with the filter bank approach.
    • Implementation cost analysis indicated greater efficiency for the filter bank method.

    Conclusions:

    • The N-PR cosine-modulated filter bank-based algorithm is a highly effective method for ECG signal compression.
    • This approach offers significant advantages in terms of signal quality and compression efficiency compared to WP techniques.
    • The proposed algorithm is suitable for practical applications requiring high-fidelity ECG data compression.
