Matching problems on 3D shapes and images are challenging as they are frequently formulated as combinatorial quadratic assignment problems (QAPs) with permutation matrix constraints, which are NP-hard. In this work, we address such problems with emerging quantum computing technology and propose several reformulations of QAPs as unconstrained problems suitable for efficient execution on quantum hardware. We investigate several ways to inject permutation matrix constraints in a quadratic unconstrained binary optimization problem which can be mapped to quantum hardware. We focus on obtaining a sufficient spectral gap, which further increases the probability to measure optimal solutions and valid permutation matrices in a single run. We perform our experiments on the quantum computer D-Wave 2000Q (2^11 qubits, adiabatic). Despite the observed discrepancy between simulated adiabatic quantum computing and execution on real quantum hardware, our reformulation of permutation matrix constraints increases the robustness of the numerical computations over other penalty approaches in our experiments. The proposed algorithm has the potential to scale to higher dimensions on future quantum computing architectures, which opens up multiple new directions for solving matching problems in 3D computer vision and graphics.
We present a quantum Monte Carlo algorithm for the simulation of general quantum and classical many-body models within a single unifying framework. The algorithm builds on a power series expansion of the quantum partition function in its off-diagonal
As a fundamental problem in pattern recognition, graph matching has applications in a variety of fields, from computer vision to computational biology. In graph matching, patterns are modeled as graphs and pattern recognition amounts to finding a cor
Graph matching (GM), as a longstanding problem in computer vision and pattern recognition, still suffers from numerous cluttered outliers in practical applications. To address this issue, we present the zero-assignment constraint (ZAC) for approachin
In this paper, we address the problem of estimating transport surplus (a.k.a. matching affinity) in high dimensional optimal transport problems. Classical optimal transport theory specifies the matching affinity and determines the optimal joint distr
