Abstract: The vast majority of sensing systems rely on non-adaptive measurements. Yet, there are immense benefits to be derived by adapting the measurement process to the specifics of the scene being sensed, including improved SNR and conditioning, as well as reduction in the number of measurements and the computational footprint of the reconstruction. This talk covers recent results that illustrate the benefits of adaptivity in hyperspectral imaging and wavefront sensing.
