ABSTRACT:
A digital signal encoding method including the steps of defining first and second components of an original digital signal on each of two scales, fractal-processing the two first components by conducting a comparison therebetween and generating an encoded digital signal including a representation of at least one of the smooth components and a representation of the result of the fractal-processing step.
