Quantum Algorithm for the Analysis of Temporal Sequences of Satellite Images
Henri Painchart, Matthijs van Waveren, Brice Mora, Guillaume Pasero · 2024
This article describes the first published quantum algorithm for the analysis of temporal sequences of satellite images. This algorithm can be used for the purpose of detecting deforestation in tropical forests. We achieved a reasonable accuracy on a quantum simulator even though we had a relatively small number of parameters. The algorithm we propose opens promising avenues for the remote sensing community when quantum computing technologies will become widely available.
