  • Abstract
    This paper describes the wavelet compression of ECG signals by JPEG2000. JPEG2000 is the latest international standard for compression of still images. JPEG2000 codec is designed to compress images and it can also be used to compress other signals. The desirable characteristics of the JPEG2000 codec, such as precise rate control and progressive quality, are retained in the presented ECG compression scheme. To compress the ECG data using a JPEG2000 code, the one-dimensional ECG sequence is processed to produce a two-dimensional matrix. This matrix is then encoded using JPEG2000.
