Abstract: |
In this work, we propose a novel scheme of signal compression based on signal-dependent wavelets. To adapt the mother wavelet to the signal for the purpose of compression, it is necessary to define a family of wavelets that depend on a set of parameters and a quality criterion for wavelet selection (i.e., wavelet parameter optimization). We propose the use of orthogonal wavelets parameterized by their scaling filter, with optimization criterion based on the minimization of signal distortion rate given the desired compression rate. For coding the wavelet coefficients we adopted the embedded zerotree wavelet coding algorithm. Results on electromyographic signals show that optimization significantly improves performance. |
