Image Analysis Using Quantum Entropy Scale Space and Diffusion Concepts

Abstract

This report documents investigations of the connections between scale space and the linear and nonlinear diffusion of images, as well as investigations of concepts of generalized entropy and quantum entropy and their measures. The generalized entropies included in particular Renyi entropy with parameter q. The diffusion studies were performed with a combination of mathematical analysis and simulations. Analysis of quantum and semi-classical entropies of modeled physical systems was also performed. The feasibility of applying forms of generalized quantum search to scheduling and logistics problems was also investigated. As part of this effort, simulations of adaptive quantum search were performed. Furthermore, the capabilities and constraints of quantum lattice gas algorithms (QLGAs) were investigated, and a new QLGA for the telegraph equation with one spatial dimension was formulated, implemented, and simulated.
