Abstract
A signal processing system and computer-implemented method for processing a igital data sequence representing an input signal to generate a fractal dimension value. The system includes a correlation integral value generation module, correlation plot generation module, a segmentation module, correlation dimension generation module, and a control module. The correlation integral value generation module generates a series of correlation integral values for points w.sub.n (k) in 'N'-dimensional space corresponding to vectors of said digital data sequence, and in particular generates inter-point distance values within each of a plurality of volume elements of said 'N'-dimensional space. The correlation plot generation module generates a correlation integral plot comprising a plot of the correlation integral values as a function of said 'N'-dimensional space volume elements. The segmentation module generates, from the plot, a series of correlation integral plot segments.
