Abstract
A method performed by a photon imaging system comprises: selecting first patterns for illumination, and generating first illumination patterns that are time-varying responsive to the first patterns in order to illuminate a target; detecting light energy of the first illumination patterns that is reflected by the target; constructing histograms of the light energy that is detected; reconstructing an image of the target using the histograms and the first patterns; performing feedback processing of the image based on an operational objective, associated with one or more of generating illumination patterns or reconstructing the image, to produce feedback for selecting second patterns that differ from the first patterns and are configured to achieve the operational objective; and responsive to the feedback, selecting the second patterns, and generating second illumination patterns based on the second patterns to illuminate the target.
