Extract

Aperture synthesis is a two-step imaging process in which the final map or image is reconstructed from intermediate measurements. As an alternative to digital computers, optical computers can be used to perform the reconstruction step. Optical reconstruction can be a fast and cheap way to handle the large amount of data now being generated by earth rotation aperture synthesis arrays.
