This study introduces an adaptive transform coding method to compress respiratory and swallowing sounds, improving signal-to-noise ratio by 5 dB. The method is efficient for real-time telemedicine applications without individual training.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Digital Signal Processing
  • Telemedicine

Background:

  • Biomedical signal compression is crucial for telemedicine.
  • Adaptive transform coding offers potential for efficient data handling.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose an adaptive transform coding method for compressing respiratory and swallowing sounds.
  • To evaluate the method's performance in terms of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and real-time applicability.

Main Methods:

  • Signals are divided into stationary and nonstationary portions with distinct bit allocation methods (BAMs).
  • Fuzzy clustering is used to classify signals and assess adaptive BAM performance.
  • Quantizer sensitivity to initial conditions is addressed.

Main Results:

  • The adaptive BAM improved SNR by 5 dB compared to fixed BAM.
  • The method demonstrated effectiveness across different bit rates and cluster numbers.
  • Training can be removed, allowing for a predefined set of BAMs for all subjects.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed adaptive transform coding method offers efficient compression for biomedical sounds.
  • The technique is suitable for real-time telemedicine applications.
  • Eliminating the training phase enhances practical implementation.
