Write n in base 3, then (working from left to right) if the k-th digit of n is not equal to the digit to its left then the k-th digit of a(n) is 1, otherwise it is 0, and finally read the result as a base-2 number.

COMMENTS
A ternary-to-binary map.
Each k appears A001316(k) times in the sequence.
FORMULA
a(n) = 2*a(floor(n/3)) + A060584(n) = A060586(A060587(n)).
EXAMPLE
a(76) = 10 since 76 = 2211_3 and looking for changing digits produces 1010 which, read as if in binary, is 10.
PROG
(PARI) a(n) = my(v=digits(n, 3)); if(#v, forstep(k=#v, 2, -1, v[k]=(v[k]!=v[k-1])); v[1]=1); fromdigits(v, 2); \\ Kevin Ryde, Apr 15 2021
