Abstract :
The CLEAN algorithm is one of the best known signal processing algorithms in (radio-)astronomy. It is essentially a deconvolution procedure and is used e.g. to reconstruct a sparse (star) brightness distribution from noisy (´dirty´ - hence ´cleaning´) observed data. In this paper we make a connection for the first time between CLEAN and l1-denoising. We show CLEAN does a crude version of l1-denoising and develop a modified algorithm with much improved behaviour.
