Look into maximum entropy #35

Open jhidding opened 1 year ago

jhidding commented 1 year ago

Maximum Entropy is a method for image reconstruction based on the concept of Shannon entropy in information theory. This algorithm is sometimes used in radio astronomy as an alternative for Clean, as discussed in Thompson, chapter 11.2. The description there is a bit minimal. Better understanding could be achieved from reading Jaynes Probability Theory, also chapter 11.

There are many implementations of Maximum Entropy Method (or MEM for short) available. The easiest accessible would be scipy.maxentropy.
