“…Additionally, the literature presents several strategies to enhance SLIM’s performance, such as background rejection by hardware 17 and computation 52 , multi-focus optics for extended DoF 15,53 , and sparsity-based resolution enhancement 43,54 . Furthermore, ongoing advancements in data-driven reconstruction algorithms, particularly physics-embedded deep learning models 19,20,45,55 , hold great promise for addressing the ill-posed inverse problems associated with limited space-bandwidth and compressive detection in SLIM. These developments are expected to significantly enhance SLIM’s capabilities and broaden its utility across diverse imaging scenarios.…”
