Runs of Significant Samples for Processes with Sharp Non-Stationarities: Application to Seismogram Compression

Abstract

An algorithm for threshold compression of the processes with the sharp variations of a level is considered. In broadening the concept on an significant sample we are successful in transmitting completely almost all the samples appropriate to the phenomenon studied; at the same time the compression ratio at the quiet parts is kept at the acceptable level. The experimental results of seismogram compression are given.
