Review of Quantum Image Processing

As an interdisciplinary between quantum computing and image processing, quantum image processing provides more possibilities for image processing due to the powerful parallel computing capabilities of quantum computers. In recent years, quantum image processing attracts more and more researcher’s attention. In order to allow researchers to better understand quantum image processing technology, we have reviewed relevant literature in recent years in the paper. First, the background and mathematical concepts of quantum computing are introduced. Then, the research progress of quantum image processing is sorted out and summarized in the fileds of quantum image representation, geometric transformation, image encryption, edge detection, image segmentation, filtering and compression. Finally, we have discussed the advantages and disadvantages of quantum image processing, and pointed out the potential future research.
