摘要

In the field of precision agriculture, this study presents novel Hybrid Quantum Convolutional Neural Networks (HQCNNs) for the classification of various crop types through UAV-captured imagery, marking a significant stride in the use of quantum machine learning (QML) within precision agriculture. A custom quantum circuit embedded within a conventional CNN architecture boosts classification accuracy, surpassing existing machine learning models. The proposed HQCNN model achieves an impressive 86% accuracy on a diverse crop dataset, demonstrating a 4% increase over traditional classifiers. This research not only pioneers the application of QML for aerial agricultural imaging but also provides a comprehensive study on the impact of quantum circuits in image classification. The findings suggest a promising direction for future applications where computational efficiency and accuracy are paramount.
