COMMENTS
This sequence is a binary variant of the "Look and Say" sequence A045918.
There is only one fixed point: a(7) = 7.

FORMULA
a(2^n - 1) = 2*n + 1 for any n > 0.
a(4*n + 1) = 4*a(2*n) + 3 for any n > 0.
a(4*n + 2) = 4*a(2*n + 1) + 2 for any n >= 0.
a(A020330(2*n)) = A020330(a(2*n)) for any n > 0.
a(A049190(n)) = A049190(n+1) for any n > 0.
EXAMPLE
For n = 67:
- the binary representation of 67 is "1000011",
- we see, in binary: "1" "1", "100" "0", "10" "1",
- hence the binary representation of a(67) is "111000101",
- and a(67) = 453 in decimal.
PROG
(PARI) a(n, b=2) = if (n==0, return (b)); my (d=digits(b*n, b), v=0, w=0); d[#d] = -1; for (i=1, #d-1, w++; if (d[i]!=d[i+1], v = b*(v*b^#digits(w, b) + w) + d[i]; w = 0)); v
