Cardiovascular signal compression using a new wavelet energy based diagnostic distortion measure

Abstract

This thesis presents an adaptive wavelet based compression method for cardiovascular signals Generally the performance of the lossy compression system depends on the methodologies used for compression and the quality measure used for evaluation of distortion However in order to introduce a closed loop rate or quality control one needs an adequate distortion measure since it plays an important role in rate distortion optimization technique used for finding optimal coding parameters Generall
