A quasi-periodic signal is a periodic signal with period and amplitude variations. Several physiological signals, including the electrocardiogram (ECG), can be treated as quasi-periodic. Vector quantization (VQ) is a valuable and universal tool for signal compression. However, compressing quasi-periodic signals using VQ presents several problems. First, a pre-trained codebook has little adaptation to signal variations, resulting in no quality control of reconstructed signals. Secondly, the periodicity of the signal causes data redundancy in the codebook, where many codevectors are highly correlated. These two problems are solved by the proposed codebook replenishment VQ (CRVQ) scheme based on a bar-shaped (BS) codebook structure. In the CRVQ, codevectors can be updated online according to signal variations, and the quality of reconstructed signals can be specified. With the BS codebook structure, the codebook redundancy is reduced significantly and great codebook storage space is saved; moreover variable-dimension (VD) codevectors can be used to minimize the coding bit rate subject to a distortion constraint. The theoretic rationale and implementation scheme of the VD-CRVQ is given. The ECG data from the MIT/BIH arrhythmic database are tested, and the result is substantially better than that of using other VQ compression methods.
