The toolkit enables IDL users to do more with large datasets, including analyzing, filtering, and compressing large amounts of data for storage or Internet posting. Wavelet analysis offers significant advantages over other traditional transforms such as the windowed Forier transform. The routines are optimized for fast performance.
Users can also add wavelet families to the toolkit.
One of the most useful aspects of the toolkit is the fast determination of relevancy of user data. This allows users to drill down quickly to their data and find the trends they're looking for without spending time analyzing data that doesn't apply to their project. Inc.
