Coding the vectocardiogram as a sequence of objects
-
vectocardiogram is a spatial record of electrical field from
active heart, in the diagnostic aspect important are only the loops drawn
by the vector's end during each of the three main episodes of heartbeat
-
similarly to the conventional electrocardiogram, the differences
between the consecutive heartbeats are very subtle, thanks to the spatial
representation the extracardiac deviations may be suppressed by the geometric
transformations
-
three sequences of loops are then very efficiently coded
with use of bi-directional prediction-correction method followed by the
cosine transform and the Huffman coding. [32],[33],[34],[53]
