To create an entirely new way to compress data, UCLA researchers drew inspiration from physics and the arts. The technique, dubbed “anamorphic stretch transform,” (AST) works by stretching and warping the data using a newly developed mathematical function that the researchers say operates in both the analog and digital domains. Reporting their work in the […]
