An implementation of a technology, described herein, for facilitating the recognition of content of digital goods. At least one implementation, described herein, derives a probabilistic mirror distribution of a digital good (e.g., digital image or audio signal). It uses the resulting data to derive weighting factors (i.e., coefficients) for the digital good. Based, at least in part on such weighting factors, it determines statistics of the good and quantizes it. The scope of the present invention is pointed out in the appending claims.
