The linked open access paper can be found here[1] and is fairly accessible.

In section 3 it contains a description of the VLBI technique used by the Event Horizon Telescope and the algorithms used to process the data. The methods rely on deconvolution[2] which behave nicely when dealing with pure signals, but can be tricky in practice on noisy data.
