You may be talking about "wavelets."  This is a mathematical technique developed
in the 1950's which has gotten publicity recently in being applied to signal
processing, compression, analysis, etc., as an alternative to the Fourier
transform.

There was a short write-up on this in a recent "Scientific American," but I
don't remember which month.  I've also seen other references listed.  You might
try asking in comp.graphics for more info.
