Everybody can understand, at least the introduction. The author treats two related problems. The first is the well-known (today) integration of data from several separate antennae. The second is the problem of recovering an image of an object from the light reflected on a white wall. They are formally quite close, and the underlying math is, at many points, the same.

- SiempreViernes 8y agoBouman worked on image reconstruction from the reduced data, not the combination of the antennae data streams into the raw visibilities.
- JshWright 8y agoDid the GP comment get edited? I don't see how your comment is relevant.
- SiempreViernes 8y agoFor me it still says: "The author [did] integration of data from several separate antennae."
- JshWright 8y agoYou can't just elide the verb there... The comment says the author "treats two related problems" in the paper, one of them being the integration of data. Is that not true? The paper certainly covers that topic.
