X-ray Fluorescence images often contain many spectral layers, which can result in long computation times when performing analysis. In this talk, discrete wavelet transformation is used in order to reduce the spectral layers, whilst maintaining the image information so that analysis may be performed at a reduced runtime. Furthermore, once the analysis of the transformed image has been complete, the inverse discrete wavelet transformation is then used to return the image cube back to its original dimensions. The proposed method is effective for cultural heritage as the elemental analysis gathered from XRF images is now obtained in a timely manner.
