As convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are being optimized, the performances and computation speeds of object detection in autonomous driving have been significantly improved. However, due to the exponentially rapid growth in the complexity and scale of data used in object detection, there are limitations in terms of computation speeds while conducting object detection solely with classical computing. Motivated by this, quantum convolution-based object detection (QCOD) is proposed to adopt quantum computing to perform object detection at high speed. The QCOD utilizes our proposed fast quantum convolution that uploads input channel information and re-constructs output channels for achieving reduced computational complexity and thus improving performances. Lastly, the extensive experiments with KITTI autonomous driving object detection dataset verify that the proposed fast quantum convolution and QCOD are successfully operated in real object detection applications. ## Recorded benchmark results A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. ## Original sources and implementation [Original paper]() [PDF]()
