Abstract
Bilinear interpolation is widely used in classical signal and image processing. Quantum algorithms have been designed for efficiently realizing bilinear interpolation. However, these quantum algorithms have limitations in circuit width and garbage outputs, which block the quantum algorithms applied to noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. In addition, the existing quantum bilinear interpolation algorithms cannot keep the consistency between the geometric centers of the original and target images. To save the above questions, we propose quantum bilinear interpolation algorithms based on geometric centers using fault-tolerant implementations of quantum arithmetic operators. Proposed algorithms include the scaling-up and scaling-down for signals (grayscale images) and signals with three channels (color images). Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed bilinear interpolation algorithms obtain the same results as their classical counterparts with an exponential speedup. Performance analysis reveals that the proposed bilinear interpolation algorithms keep the consistency of geometric centers and significantly reduce circuit width and garbage outputs compared to the existing works.
