Abstract: This lecture describes how the visibility samples collected by an interferometric array can be used to produce a high quality image of the sky. In contrast to the linear methods of Lecture 7, these methods are all non-linear, and must create estimates of the visibility function at positions in the Fourier plane where it is not measured. The two most common algorithms used, CLEAN and MEM, are discussed in detail, with several variations and less common algorithms mentioned briefly. An example comparison between CLEAN and MEM is given on a simulated VLBA observation.
