compressionkit-ppg-8x

A PPG signal compression codec using Residual Vector Quantization (RVQ), optimized for edge and wearable devices.

Model Details

• Modality: PPG
• Sample Rate: 64 Hz
• Compression Ratio: 8.0x
• Quantization: INT8
• RVQ Levels: 4
• Codebook Size: 256 entries × 16D
• Encoder Input: [None, 1, 320, 1]
• Encoder Output: [None, 1, 40, 16]

Quality Metrics

Fidelity & Robustness

Both fidelity yardsticks are reported so the codec is judged fairly: faithfulness is PRD vs the recorded (still-noisy) input, while truth fidelity is PRD vs clean ground truth. Lower is better.

Metric	Value
Truth PRD vs clean (%)	2.66
Truth PRD at native noise (%)	34.43
Faithful PRD vs input (%)	5.10
PRD degradation slope (PRD%/dB)	4.39
PRD at 0 dB SNR (%)	75.99
PRD at -6 dB SNR (%)	104.80
Pure-noise imprint autocorr	0.2859

Time Domain

PRD here is faithfulness (vs the recorded input); see Fidelity & Robustness above for the clean-truth and noise-regime view.

Metric	Mean	Median	P90
PRD vs input — faithfulness (%)	5.0979	2.7274	5.6243
RMSE	0.0306	0.0265	0.0439
Cosine Similarity	0.9917	0.9996	0.9998

Spectral

• Band Total Relative Error (median): 0.0153

Bitrate

Usage

Python (compressionkit runtime)

from compressionkit.runtime import RVQCodec

codec = RVQCodec.from_pretrained("Ambiq/compressionkit-ppg-8x")

# Encode: float32 signal → RVQ indices
indices = codec.encode(signal)

# Decode: RVQ indices → reconstructed signal
recon = codec.decode(indices)

Local deployment directory

codec = RVQCodec("path/to/deploy/")
