A quantum synthetic aperture radar image denoising algorithm based on grayscale morphology

Lu Wang, Yuxiang Liu, Fanxu Meng +4 more

The quantum denoising technology efficiently removes noise from images; however, the existing algorithms are only effective for additive noise and cannot remove multiplicative noise, such as speckle noise in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. In this paper, based on the grayscale morphology method, a quantum SAR image denoising algorithm is proposed, which performs morphological operations on all pixels simultaneously to remove the noise in the SAR image. In addition, we design a feasible quantum adder to perform cyclic shift operations. Then, quantum circuits for dilation and erosion are designed, and the complete quantum circuit is then constructed. For a 2 n × 2 n quantum SAR image with q grayscale levels, the complexity of our algorithm is O ( n + q ) . Compared with classical algorithms, it achieves exponential improvement and also has polynomial-level improvements than existing quantum algorithms. Finally, the feasibility of our algorithm is validated on IBM Q.

Quantum Image Fusion Methods for Remote Sensing

Leslie Miller, Glen S. Uehara, Andreas Spanias

This paper presents algorithms, simulations, and results using machine learning and quantum image fusion algorithms for radar and remote sensing applications. Previous efforts in the classification of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images using quantum machine learning provided encouraging results but, nevertheless modest accuracy. In this paper, we propose a novel quantum image fusion technique used for identifying and classifying objects obtained from C-band SAR and optical images. More specifically, we design a four-qubit quantum circuit to process the SAR image dataset. This method enhances the spectral details otherwise not seen when using the raw SAR dataset. In addition to the quantum circuit, we design deep neural networks (NN) to improve classification results. The Visual Geometry Group 16 (VGG16), a convolutional neural network that is sixteen layers deep, is customized and used for classification. The merit of quantum fusion as well as the promising results in improving the overall system and the potential of lowering size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C) is described.
