“…through the use of regularizers and studying its implications on data acquisition (e.g., recovering signals from a reduced number of measurements [13]), very little is known about the interplay of hardware limitations and signal reconstruction. Moreover, Among such limitations are the limited number of degrees of freedom of actual acquisition systems [14], [15], the finite aperture size of the optical components [16], and their finite spatial resolution (e.g., Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs), and Digital Micromirror Devices (DMDs)) [13], [8], [17], [18], to name a few. To underscore the importance of both studying and addressing such limitations, in the sequel we provide examples from the literature concerning their consequential impact on signal reconstruction.…”
