Compression of ECG signals

This thesis contains general description of several basic compression algorithms used either for lossy and lossless compression. These algorithms are runlength encoding, Lempel-Ziv, Huffman encoding, Move-to-Front, wavelet transform and Burrows-Wheeler transform. Aim of this thesis is creation of ECG compression algorithm with implementation of runlength encoding and BWT. Another technique used in algorithm is wavelet transform. The algorithm is written in programming environment MATLAB
