IMPLEMENTATION OF QUANTUM IMAGE HALFTONING ALGORITHM
Abstract
Developing new computing methods and signal processing algorithms by
borrowing from the principle of quantum mechanics is a very interesting and new
research topic. By utilizing quantum algorithm in the process of computing, it is
expected that this algorithm can solved the problems of image processing faster
than using a classical algorithm. In this paper, a quantum digital image
halftoning algorithm will be presented.The image would be processed using
bitmap image (.bmp) and the applications would be created using Matlab R2009a.
Test phase of the applications is using an image, lena.bmp. This application will
show three new images as results of three halftoning methods: binary threshold
method, ordered dithering method, and method with quantum algorithm. The
method with quantum algorithm shows better than two others methods.
