`vis2dirty(baselines, gconf, idx, vis, [distance between w planes]) -> dirty`
The code would internally do the following:
- determine min and max w values of the provided data
- determine number and locations of the required w planes
- for every w plane:
- grid the relevant subset of visibilities onto the plane
- run grid2dirty on the result
- apply wscreen to the result
- add result to accumulated result
- apply correction function for gridding in w direction to accumulated result
- return accumulated result
Adjoint operation will follow once we are sure that this works.
Is there anything I'm missing, @parras?
So far it seems as if a (somewhat sub-optimal) prototype could be written pretty quickly.https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/ift/nifty_gridder/-/issues/1Feature wishlist2019-09-24T09:00:52ZPhilipp Arrasparras@mpa-garching.mpg.deFeature wishlist- [x] Add single precision mode

Other operators do not exhibit this behavior (tested DiagonalOperator, InverseGammaPrior).

## Alternative
We use the following criterion to decide on the oversampling factor:
```python
rat = 3 if eps < 1e-11 else 2
```
If one always takes an oversampling factor of 2 we arrive at the following results
### 1 data point

### 100 data points
![nfft_accuracy_new](/uploads/31055329393f439ea64dd8fdfa00d9db/nfft_accuracy_new.png)
Therefore, my suggestion is to drop oversampling with a factor of three since it does not add relevant accuracy.
Here is the original paper for the code. Chapter 4 describes the algorithm which we use.

What I do for Log...I am back at considering what kind of default amplitude model is suitable for nifty. I think the current `SLAmplitude` operator does not provide a sensible prior on the zeromode. Therefore, I think we should change it.
What I do for Lognormal problems is the following: set the zeromode of the amplitude operator A constantly to one and have as sky model: exp(ht @ U @ (A*xi)), where U is an operator which turns a standard normal distribution into a flat distribution with a lower and an upper bound.
My problem is that `demos/getting_started_3.py` does not show how to properly set up a prior on the zero mode.
@reimar, @pfrank, do you have a suggestion how to deal with this?https://gitlab.mpcdf.mpg.de/ift/nifty/-/issues/265MaskOperator in getting_started_12019-04-16T07:49:17ZJulia StadlerMaskOperator in getting_started_1The demo getting_started_1 uses a DiagonalOperator to implement the chessboard mask.

* zero-pad the PSF from the center, apply a Fourier transform and construct a DiagonalOperator from the result
* zero-pad the signal from the right/top and apply a Fourier transform
* apply the PSF-operator to the signal field followed by an inverse Fourier transform
* apply the adjoint signal zero padding operation
* take the real value
The problem with this procedure is that it reduces the flux at the borders of the image, where the PSF smears the additional zeros out to the pixels I'm interested in. I attached two plots to illustrate the problem, on shows how point sources are smeared out to the opposite side of the image without zero padding, the other how the zero padding leaks into the image at the border. The signal contains two point sources which get brighter with with bin number and equally the PSF gets wider.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem before? Or are there any nifty tools to tackle this, I'm not aware of? My approach would be to extend the signal field beyond the data region and to include a mask in the response to account for that. .Or is there a smarter approach?![data_no-zero-padding](/uploads/90b1f2e428d6316b0f4886ec40535fe4/data_no-zero-padding.png)

The current idea is that one first builds the full Hamiltonian (as before), and then obtains a simplified version for partially constant inputs by calling its method `simplify_for_constant_input()` with the constant input components.
All that needs to be done (I hope) is to specialize this method for all composed operators, i.e. those that call other operators internally.
@kjako, @reimar, @parras, @pfrank: does the principal idea look sound to you?
