FLPI: representation of quantum images for log-polar coordinate
Mo Wang, Kai Lü, Yi Zhang, Xiaoping Wang · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 2013
We propose an effective method, flexible log-polar image (FLPI) to represent quantum images sampled in log-polar coordinate system. Each pixel is represented by three qubit sequences and the whole image is stored into a normalized quantum superposition state. If needed, a flexible qubit sequence can be added to represent multiple images. Through elementary operations, both arbitrary rotation transformation and similarity evaluation can be realized. We also design an image registration algorithm to recognize the angular difference between two images if one is rotated from the other. It is proven that the proposed algorithm could get conspicuous improvement in performance.
