what is aperture synthesis and how does it work?
In: 3
From what I understand, and hopefully if my bastardization of the explanation is wrong somehow can explain it better, without going into telescopes and satellites, imagine having multiple cameras. One camera records in regular visible light, one records in infrared, one records in low light (like night vision), one someone produces an image based on the absorbing of ambient radio signals, and another somehow produces and image based on (and this is the one that’s gonna get me crucified) sound waves. A computer collects all the imaging information of these cameras pointing at the same place to produce a super high resolution as accurate as possible image. Now this is something that they do with satellites and telescopes to get good images of things that are super far away.
It’s probably significantly more complicated than that and I apologize if it’s oversimplified to the point where it’s bordering on inaccurate
