Abstract
The Atacama large millimeter/submillimeter array with the planned electronic upgrades will deliver an unprecedented number of deep and high resolution observations. Wider fields of view are possible with the consequential cost of image reconstruction. Alternatives to commonly used applications in image processing have to be sought and tested. Advanced image reconstruction methods are critical to meet the data requirements needed for operational purposes. Astrostatistics and astroinformatics techniques are employed. Evidence is given that these interdisciplinary fields of study applied to synthesis imaging meet the Big Data challenges and have the potential to enable new scientific discoveries in radio astronomy and astrophysics.
