Abstract

Electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring models are commonly employed for diagnosing heart diseases. Since ECG signals are normally acquired for a longer time duration with high resolution, there is a need to compress the ECG signals for transmission and storage. So, a novel compression technique is essential in transmitting the signals to the telemedicine center to monitor and analyse the data. In addition, the protection of ECG signals poses a challenging issue, which encryption techniques can resolve. The existing Encryption-Then-Compression (ETC) models for multimedia data fail to properly maintain the trade-off between compression performance and signal quality.

Abstract Compressing encrypted images remains a challenge. As illustrated in our previous work on compression of encrypted binary images, it is preferable to exploit statistical characteristics at the receiver. Through this line, we characterize statistical correlations between adjacent bitplanes of a gray image with the Markov random field (MRF), represent it with a factor graph, and integrate the constructed MRF factor graph in that for binary image reconstruction, which gives rise to a joint factor graph for gray images reconstruction (JFGIR). By exploiting the JFGIR at the receiver to facilitate the reconstruction of the original bitplanes… More >
