Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Electrocardiogram (ECG) data requires efficient compression for storage and transmission.
  • Existing compression methods like the discrete cosine transform have limitations in achieving high compression ratios without sacrificing signal quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a new method for compressing ECG data using high-degree polynomial expansions.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of this method in achieving high data compression rates.
  • To compare the performance against the discrete cosine transform.

Main Methods:

  • Subdividing the ECG signal into intervals corresponding to one ECG period.
  • Applying high-degree polynomial expansions within these intervals.

    • Main Results:

    • Achieved data rates of approximately 350 bits per second with acceptable signal quality.
    • Demonstrated significantly higher data compression compared to the discrete cosine transform for equivalent signal quality.
    • Optimized interval selection leveraged polynomial base function properties for enhanced compression.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed polynomial expansion method offers superior ECG data compression efficiency.
    • This technique provides a viable solution for reducing ECG data size while maintaining diagnostic quality.
    • Further research can explore variations in polynomial degrees and interval strategies for even greater compression.
