Morlet wavelets in quantum mechanics john ashmead abstract wavelets offer signi.
However, even though it is largely cythonpowered, the performance can be lacking for 2d transforms where my profiler tells me that a lot of time is spent shuffling memory, such as running transpose, and especially if you are running smallimage transforms, but a lot of them.
