Abstract
Quantum image processing uses quantum hardware to revolutionize the storage, recovery, processing, and security of quantum images across diverse applications. Although researchers have explored various facets of quantum image processing, a comprehensive systematic literature review encompassing all domains is essential for theoretical and experimental progress. This article aims to bridge this gap by systematically analyzing advancements in this field, drawing insights from a thorough review of 135 research articles published beyond 2003. Our study examines core components of quantum image processing, such as quantum image representations, advanced algorithms, transformative techniques like Quantum Fourier and Wavelet Transforms, and robust security measures. It further explores the synergy between quantum machine learning and image processing for improved classification and recognition. In addition, the study also discusses the limitations of existing research, summarizes its essential aspects, highlights gaps and challenges, and finally, provides recommendations for future research and innovations.
期刊介绍:
Computer Science Review, a publication dedicated to research surveys and expository overviews of open problems in computer science, targets a broad audience within the field seeking comprehensive insights into the latest developments. The journal welcomes articles from various fields as long as their content impacts the advancement of computer science. In particular, articles that review the application of well-known Computer Science methods to other areas are in scope only if these articles advance the fundamental understanding of those methods.
