First-Ever Black Hole Image Sharpened Using Machine Learning
The historic first image of the Messier 87 (M87) supermassive black hole, captured using the Event Horizon Telescope, has been sharped using a machine learning technique called PRIMO.
PRIMO is short for principal-component interferometric modeling.
