Abstract
With the development of quantum computing, the application of it to image processing has lots of advantages compared to classical image processing. In this paper, we propose a scheme to extract the interest point in quantum images. Interest point is a kind of feature point which can help to identify the target object in the image. Our scheme is based on the idea of Luminance Contrast (LC) algorithm. The scheme computes the absolute value of gray level differences between a pixel and the others, and then adds all these differences together. The sum is defined as a saliency. After computing the saliency of every pixel, we label the pixels with the maximal saliency as the interest points. The algorithm has pretty good performance and its time complexity is much better than the classical algorithm in same conditions, which provides a new idea for the extraction of image interest point.Keywords
