Compression of ECG data by vector quantization
Baohua Wang, Guoxin Yuan · IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine · 1997
The authors first estimate the ECG rate-distortion bound, which is the theoretical limit in the compression of the ECG data. They then present ECG data-compression schemes based on codebook quantizer and finite-state VQ (FSVQ), which are suitable for coding a correlative signal. Then, the authors' modified FSVQ-based scheme is presented.
