Digital Image Processing

Image
  Image processing is the process of manipulating digital images. See a list of image processing techniques, including image enhancement, restoration, & others. Digital image processing is the use of a digital computer to process digital images through an algorithm. As a subcategory or field of digital signal processing, digital image processing has many advantages over analog image processing. It allows a much wider range of algorithms to be applied to the input data and can avoid problems such as the build-up of noise and distortion during processing. Since images are defined over two dimensions or more, digital image processing may be modeled in the form of multidimensional systems.  The generation and development of digital image processing are mainly affected by three factors: first, the development of computers; second, the development of mathematics (especially the creation and improvement of discrete mathematics theory); and third, the demand for a wide range ...

Microsoft’s Majorana 1: world’s first quantum processor powered by topological qubits

Image
 Quantum computing is an emergent field of cutting-edge computer science harnessing the unique qualities of quantum mechanics to solve problems beyond the ability of even the most powerful classical computers. A quantum computer is a computer that exploits these quantum mechanical phenomena to compute much faster and efficiently than modern computers. At the World Governments Summit in Dubai last week, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that quantum computers are what AI was for us 10 years ago. It’s the future and the next big leap in technology everyone is waiting for. On February 19 Microsoft today introduced Majorana 1 , the world’s first quantum chip powered by a new Topological Core architecture that it expects will realize quantum computers capable of solving meaningful, industrial-scale problems in years, not decades. It leverages the world’s first topoconductor , a breakthrough type of material which can observe and control Majorana particles to produce more rel...
