An ECG(Electrocardiogram) compression can increase the processing speed of system as well as reduce amount of signal transmission and data storage of long-term records. Whereas conventional performance evaluations of loss or lossless compression algorithms measure PRD(Percent RMS Difference) and CR(Compression Ratio) in the viewpoint of engineers, this paper focused on the performance evaluations of compression algorithms in the viewpoint of diagnostician who diagnosis ECG. Generally, for not effecting the diagnosis in the ECG compression, the position, length, amplitude and waveform of the restored signal of PQRST wave should not be damaged. AZTEC, a typical ECG compression algorithm, is validated its effectiveness in conventional performance evaluation. In this paper, we propose novel performance evaluation of AZTEC in the viewpoint of diagnostician.

본 연구에서는 모바일 환경에서 장시간 심전도 계측 시 발생하는 무선 및 배터리의 제한적인 자원의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 낮은 연산량과 높은 압축률을 가지는 템플릿 매칭 기반의 압축 알고리즘을 구현하였다. 템플릿 매칭 기법을 이용한 심전도 데이터 압축은 심전도의 특징점인 R-peak를 검출하여 템플릿을 생성하고 이후 입력되는 심전도 신호와 유사성을 판단하여 해당되는 템플릿의 정보만 저장하고 전송하는 방법이다. 구현된 알고리즘의 성능평가를 위하여 MIT-BIH Normal Sinus Rhythm Database의 10개 레코드에서 각각 10분간 데이터를 추출하여 성능평가를 수행하였으며, 이때, 압축률과 복원율 오차의 평균이 각각 7.94% 와 5.33%의 성능을 나타내었다.

ECG signals are recorded for diagnostic purposes in many clinical situations. Also, In order to permit good clinical interpretation, data is needed at high resolutions and sampling rates. Therefore In this paper, we designed to compression structure using multiple wavelet basis function(SWBF) and compared to single wavelet basis function(SWBF) and discrete cosine transform(DCT). For experience objectivity, Simulation was performed using the arrhythmia data with sampling frequency 360Hz, resolution lIbit at MIT-BIH database. An estimate of performance estimate evaluate the reconstruction error. Consequently compression structure using MWBF has high performance result.

An electrocardiogram(ECG) is a recoding of electrical signals of the heart's cyclic activity and an important body information for diagnosing myocardial rhythm. Large amount of information are generated continuously and a significant period of cumulative signal is required for the purpose of diagnosing a specific disease. Therefore, research on compression including clinically acceptable lossy technique has been developed to reduce the amount of information significantly. Recently, wearable smart heart monitoring devices that can transmit electrocardiogram(ECG) are being developed. The use of electrocardiogram, an important personal information for healthcare service, is rapidly increasing. However, devices generally have limited capability and power consumption for user convenience, and it is often difficult to apply the existing compression method directly. It is essential to develop techniques that can process and transmit a large volume of signals in limited resources. A method for compressing and transmitting the ECG signals efficiently by using the cumulative average (template) of the unit waveform is proposed in the paper. The ECG is coded lovelessly using template matching. It is analyzed that the proposed method is superior to the existing compression methods at high compression ratio, and its complexity is not relatively high. And it is also possible to apply compression methods to template matching values.

In this paper, we propose an effective compression method for electrocardiogram (ECG) signals. 1-D ECG signals are reconstructed to 2-D ECG data by period and complexity sorting schemes with image compression techniques to increase inter and intra-beat correlation. The proposed method added block division and mean-period normalization techniques on top of conventional 2-D data ECG compression methods. JPEG 2000 is chosen for compression of 2-D ECG data. Standard MIT-BIH arrhythmia database is used for evaluation and experiment. The results show that the proposed method outperforms compared to the most recent literature especially in case of high compression rate.

In this paper, fast Fourier transform and fast Walsh transform algorithm are studied for ECG data compression. ECG data-12 bit samples digitized at 480 samples-are segmented into QRS complexes and 50 intervals by di%ital derivative filter, which used for detection of QS width and difrerenre compressed in Fourler or welsh domain. And also the existing techniques for data compression-TP, MTP, CORTES, AZTEC, MCORTES, which have not been evaluated with a common measurement of goodness, were processed to get absolute terms of values in the same condition.
