Abstract
A system for generating an encoding of a lead of electrocardiogram (ECG) represented as an ECG image. The system identifies a reference pulse of the ECG image having a reference width pixel count, a reference height pixel count, a reference time, and a reference voltage. The system identifies a baseline pixel-row of a plotline of the ECG image that contains a graph of the lead. The system encodes per-pixel timing information based on the reference time and the reference width pixel count. The system, for a plurality of pixel-columns, identifies a voltage pixel-row of that pixel-column that has an ECG value of the graph and encodes a voltage based on distance between the baseline pixel-row and the voltage pixel-row and based on the reference voltage and the reference height pixel count.
