The proposed sequential compression algorithms provide state-of-the-art lossless and near-lossless compression for multichannel biomedical signals like ECG and EEG, suitable for low-latency and low-power applications.
This paper proposes lossless and near-lossless compression algorithms for multichannel biomedical signals. The algorithms are sequential and efficient, which makes them suitable for low-latency and low-power signal transmission applications. We make use of information theory and signal processing tools (such as universal coding, universal prediction, and fast online implementations of multivariate recursive least squares), combined with simple methods to exploit spatial as well as temporal redundancies typically present in biomedical signals. The algorithms are tested with publicly available electroencephalogram and electrocardiogram databases, surpassing in all cases the current state of the art in near-lossless and lossless compression ratios.
