A New Quantum Gray-Scale Image Encoding Scheme

In this paper, a new quantum images encoding scheme is proposed. The proposed scheme mainly consists of four different encoding algorithms. The idea behind of the scheme is a binary key generated randomly for each pixel of the original image. Afterwards, the employed encoding algorithm is selected corresponding to the qubit pair of the generated randomized binary key. The security analysis of the proposed scheme proved its enhancement through both randomization of the generated binary image key and altering the gray-scale value of the image pixels using the qubits of randomized binary key. The simulation of the proposed scheme assures that the final encoded image could not be recognized visually. Moreover, the histogram diagram of encoded image is flatter than the originM one. The Shannon entropies of the final encoded images are significantly higher than the original one, which indicates that the attacker can not gain any information about the encoded images.

基于量子指针的量子灰度图像处理

为了解决量子灰度图像处理中量子图像的表示问题,利用量子态保存图像的灰度信息和位置信息,依据灰度图像灰度变化范围小的优势,提出并证明了一种量子灰度图像的存储表达式,而且在此表达式的基础上,提出了"量子指针"的概念。把量子指针作为图像像素灰度信息与位置信息联系的纽带,利用其双向性和子块性可使得量子灰度图像在存储及其他操作方面更为简单,方便,最后也验证了它的可行性。
