Synthesis Imaging

The title of this section might be construed as covering simply the act of transforming edited, calibrated data and deconvolving the images. However, we wish to emphasise that the process should be viewed as a whole, and whilst data editing, for example, is discussed separately (because it is a generic operation, applicable beyond interferometry), it must be possible to integrate (self-)calibration, data inspection/editing, transformation and deconvolution more closely than is possible in AIPS.

It should be possible to easily ``mix-and-match'' self-calibration, transformation, and deconvolution tools, for example, using CLEAN to deconvolve in the early stages, and Maximum Entropy later on when CLEAN would begin to break-down. This also demonstrates the need to make self-calibration use a generic model, which may be CLEAN-components, an image, or a gaussian model.
