Sakshi, Nirvair Neeru . A Survey on different Compression Techniques for ECG Data Reduction. International Journal of Computer Applications. 170, 4 ( Jul 2017), 34-39. DOI=10.5120/ijca2017914834
Electrocardiogram (ECG) is the technique that is used to record the electrical signal of the heart over a time interval by using the electrodes, positioned on a patient's body. The signals collected from the body needs to be processed and compressed before directing to monitoring center. Electrocardiogram (ECG) data compressions minimize the necessities of storage to generate a more proficient tele-cardiology system for the cardiac exploration and diagnosis. This paper focus on the evaluation of several compression schemes for ECG data compression and also provides the comparison of the various ECG compression techniques such as Turning Point, Delta Coding, AZTEC, CORTES, DCT etc. in terms of different performance metrics like Compression Ratio (CR), Percent Mean Square Difference (PRD) and Quality Score (QS).
