The proposed study investigates the use of the Novel Enhanced Quantum Representation (NEQR) in Quantum picture Processing (QIP) for image processing. It focusses on the way the FREI-CHEN edge detection operator, which is an enhanced Prewitt operator, behaves on quantum images. The Frei-Chen operator improves edge identification more precisely than the Prewitt operator, Sobel operator and Kirsch operator. The work shows significant improvements by applying the Frei-Chen operator on quantum-converted pictures, obtaining a Mean Square Error (MSE) of about 19.4932 and a Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) of around 35.4453 dB.
