This study introduces an effective electrocardiogram (ECG) data compression method using singular value decomposition (SVD) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The technique achieves significant data reduction while maintaining high signal fidelity, outperforming existing methods.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Computerized electrocardiogram (ECG) processing systems necessitate efficient data compression.
  • Effective ECG compression enhances storage capacity and data transmission over networks.
  • Existing methods may not fully balance compression ratio and signal fidelity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel ECG signal compression technique combining Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT).
  • To achieve high data reduction ratios for ECG signals while preserving signal integrity.
  • To evaluate the performance of the proposed technique against established benchmarks.

Main Methods:

  • ECG signals are transformed into a rectangular matrix for SVD analysis.

  • Small singular values are discarded to achieve data reduction.
  • The compressed matrix undergoes wavelet transformation, thresholding, and coding for further compression.

    • Main Results:

    • The proposed SVD-DWT technique achieved an average data compression ratio of 25.2:1.
    • High signal fidelity was maintained, with an average Percentage Root Mean Square Difference (PRD) of 3.14.
    • The method demonstrated superior performance compared to recently published ECG compression techniques.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined SVD-DWT approach offers an effective solution for ECG data compression.
    • This technique successfully balances high compression ratios with excellent signal fidelity.
    • The proposed method shows significant potential for improving ECG data management and transmission.
