... ICND-96, Saratov, Russia. ... And though a number of efficient methods of digital sound compression is developed by far, there is still a need in new efficient methods. In this report we study a possibility of application of fractal methods to compression of speech signals. ... In this method, a speech frame is divided into larger pieces called domains, and smaller ones called regions, and an optimal set of affine transformations of domains into regions is calculated. ...
