Analyze Your Data

From ad-hoc data analysis to commercially distributed applications, IDL has the data analysis capabilities you need, including:

• Simple syntax, dynamic data typing, and array-oriented operations

• Built-in functionality suitable for many data trends, with tools for 2- and 3-dimensional gridding and interpolation, routines for curve and surface fitting, and the ability to perform multi- threaded computations

• A rich library of high-performance routines to analyze your data

• The ability to add your own specialized routines to the library by writing procedures more quickly than in C or FORTRAN

Image Processing
If you need to convert raw images to information, IDL contains an extensive library of image processing and analysis routines. IDL allows you to extract useful information from nearly any type of digital image with tools for transforming image geometry, mapping, masking and statistics, warping, analyzing regions of interest, and contrasting and filtering.

Signal Processing
IDL has advanced tools for processing signal data, including transforms for signal decomposition, windowing algorithms, routines for smoothing, convolving and applying digital filters to remove noise, and correlation and covariance techniques to analyze signals with random components. IDL also has a built in wavelet toolkit that provides GUI and programmatic wavelet analysis of multi-dimensional data.

Math and Statistics Routines
IDL has an extensive library of built-in math and statistics routines. If you need to add additional mathematical and statistical functionality quickly and easily to an IDL application, IDL Analyst is a premium IDL product that combines advanced data visualization and analysis capabilities with the comprehensive mathematical and statistical routines of the IMSL™ C Numerical Library. This solution allows you to access proven algorithms and routines directly from the IDL environment without using additional software.
