Abstract

This paper presents a modified version of Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) wavelet compression method, which has been developed for ECG signal compression. Two more steps in the existing technique have been added to achieve higher compression ratio (CR) and lower percentage rms difference (PRD). The method has been tested on selected records from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database. Even with two more steps, the method retains its simplicity, computational efficiency and self-adaptiveness, without compromising on any other performance parameter.
