A new wavelet-based ECG compression method is presented. Wavelet transform coefficients are quantised with a uniform scalar dead zone quantiser. The Exp-Golomb coding is used to code the lengths of runs of the zero coefficients. The Golomb-Rice coding is used to code the nonzero coefficients. Experiments on several records from the MIT-BIH arrhythmia database show that the proposed coding algorithm outperforms other recently developed ECG compression algorithms.
