Abstract

In this paper, an improved method for electrocardiogram (ECG) signal compression using Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) algorithm is proposed. ECG signals are compressed based on different transform such as discrete cosine transform and discrete wavelet transform with modified SPIHT. The modified SPIHT algorithm yields good compression with controlled quantity of signal degradation and requires computational time as compared to earlier published SPIHT algorithms. The proposed algorithm is suitable for the ECG signal compression for telemedicine or e-health system due to minimum computational time.
