Definitions

• This disclosure relates to systems and methods for applying a predefined functional shape to coefficients of a discrete Fourier transform of a waveform.
• Signal parameterization is widely used in signal processing, storage, transmission, and analysis. Perhaps the most common is the use of Nyquist rate sampling, where a continuous time domain signal is represented by a set of sampled signal values at discrete times. As long as the original continuous signal is band limited to at most half the sampling rate, the set of samples can be used to reconstruct the complete signal by using, for example, a sine interpolation algorithm. In this common example, the signal is represented by a set of discrete parameters, the sample values, which can be stored, transmitted, and used at any time to completely reconstruct the original signal.
• Dirac- FRI models are limited to two parameters for pulse descriptions, an amplitude and a position within a period (for pseudo-periodic signals), and they are restricted to a single pulse shape for reconstruction. Thus these models are limited in their ability to parameterize signals containing pulses of varying widths.
• a computer implemented method of reconstructing a time domain waveform from a compressed original time domain waveform comprises receiving, by a processor, parameters defining a compressed form of the original time domain waveform, generating, with the processor, discrete Fourier transform (DFT) coefficients from the parameters, adjusting, with the processor, the amplitudes of at least some of the generated DFT coefficients to more closely fit the amplitudes of at least some of the generated DFT coefficients to a predefined functional shape, performing, with the processor, an inverse discrete Fourier transform (IDFT) on a set of DFT coefficients including the adjusted DFT coefficients to produce a reconstructed time domain waveform.
• DFT discrete Fourier transform

• the present disclosure may be particularly applicable to signal storage databases such as electro-cardiogram (ECG) databases.
• ECG electro-cardiogram
• the methods herein may be used to parameterize ECG signals and then store those parameters in an ECG database. This may greatly reduce the cost and resources required for storing ECG signals as the memory allocation required to store the data is greatly reduced.
• ECG signal databases provide information used for evaluation and treatment of patients. Further, hospitals may require such ECG databases as part of storage of patient medical records. Thus, the systems and methods described herein may prove valuable to the medical field.
• Signals that approximate the parameterization model described herein may be referred to as Variable Pulse- Width Finite Rate of Information (i.e. the VPW-FRI) signals.
• An example of this class of signals is the heart beat in an ECG waveform as illustrated in Fig. 1A.
• the structure of a heart beat is defined by its P Q R S T components. The location, size, and shape of these components convey critical information about the physical operation of the heart.
• the waveform may be modeled as a sum of Lorentzian (also known as Cauchy distribution) pulses, each of which includes a symmetric and an asymmetric component:
• the waveform is considered to be formed from K pulses, each one denoted by an index k, and each one of which is defined by a center position t k , a width or damping factor a ⁇ , an amplitude for a symmetric pulse component 3 ⁇ 4, and an amplitude for an asymmetric pulse component d k .
• the number of Lorentzian pulses used to model a signal will depend on the nature of the signal.
• the asymmetric amplitude d k can be set to zero, which reduces the number of parameters used to model the waveform. This is possible with the ECG waveforms, but the results in general are less accurate.
• Figure IB illustrates five Lorentzian pulses of the form set forth in Equation 1 whose parameters were extracted from the original waveform of Figure 1A using the methods described below.
• the sum of the pulses in Figure IB is shown in Figure 1C. It can be seen that Figure 1C is a good reproduction of the original signal of Figure 1A. In this way, the signal from Figure 1A is accurately parameterized by 20 parameters, four parameters (c, d, a, and t) for each of the five Lorentzian pulses of Figure IB and Equation 1.
• a method is required to derive the desired parameters from the original time domain data, which is typically a series of discrete waveform samples taken during the acquisition of an analog electrical signal output from electrodes coupled to a subject.
• the sampling rate may vary, but may be about 120-360 Hz, producing about 100-500 time domain samples of the waveform over the approximately 0.75 to 1.5 second time period of interest containing the P, Q, R, S, and T waveform features. It will be appreciated that parameterizing the waveform to 20 parameter values instead of the 100-500 original waveform sample values can produce a compression of the data by a factor of 5-25.

• a noise floor of around -70 dB can also be seen in Figure 3 at frequencies above about 70 Hz.
• the details of the ECG waveform affect the frequencies and decay rate in the oscillating region, and the details of the shape of the transition region.
• the set of MM DFT coefficients selected for analysis is on the positive side of 0 Hz, and includes at least 2K+1 adjacent DFT coefficient values.
• positive frequency coefficients are selected because the set of coefficients cannot span across 0 Hz due to the methods used to perform the extraction as described further below.
• the selected set of coefficients should include the oscillating region from near 0 Hz and extend to cover at least some of the transition region as well.
• the pulse width and pulse location parameters a ⁇ and 3 ⁇ 4 are calculated from at least some of the selected DFT coefficients.
• the method assumes that the DFT of block 210 was generated from a sampled time domain signal having the functional form of Equation 1.

• spectral analysis techniques such as the Prony algorithm are known that can construct the annihilating polynomial and find its roots.
• Other spectral analysis techniques can also be used to find the roots of the annihilation polynomial such as ESPRIT.
• Such techniques have been used for similar purposes such as the Dirac-FRI methods mentioned above.

• a minimum of K signal values and K equations ( L ⁇ K ) are needed to form a matrix equation which may be inverted (or least squares inverted) to obtain the values of b k
• more signal values are generally used and the values of b k are determined by a least squares method.
• inv(G) is the least squares (Moore-Penrose) pseudo-inverse of the matrix G.
• each b k is the symmetric amplitude 3 ⁇ 4 of pulse k
• the imaginary part of each b k is the asymmetric amplitude d k of pulse k.
• the parameters are stored at block 218 for future signal reconstruction.
• the complete waveform can be compressed to four values for each pulse (plus potentially an additional DC shift parameter), which for a five pulse waveform is only twenty or twenty-one values, much less than the number of time domain (or frequency domain) values that would be stored as representative of the waveform if a conventional Nyquist rate sampling method were used.
• FIG. 4 is a flow diagram of signal reconstruction from the stored parameters.
• the stored parameters a k , 3 ⁇ 4, and d k are retrieved at block 410.

• IDFT inverse discrete Fourier transform
• Equation 1 an alternative reconstruction method may be used in the time domain, where the parameters a k , t k , C k , and d k are plugged into Equation 1 to directly produce time domain data. Care should be taken in this case to use a shifted periodic version of Equation 1 if the original signal has any significant DC offset. This complication is not present if the frequency domain reconstruction of Figure 4 is utilized.

• the solid line illustrates the DFT coefficients produced by Equation 2 at, for example, block 412 of Figure 4 following extraction of the VPW-FRI parameters from the 60 Hz sample set.
• the deviation between the actual spectrum and the reconstructed spectrum becomes large above about 30 Hz (which corresponds to the sampling frequency of 60 Hz).
