QFireNet: A Quantum-Enhanced U-Net for Wildfire Segmentation from Sentinel-2 Imagery

Short summary

QFireNet integrates a variational quantum circuit into the U-Net bottleneck for wildfire segmentation from Sentinel-2 imagery. Quantum-hybrid variants QB-Net (F1=31.18) and QuFeX (F1=30.79) outperformed the classical U-Net baseline (F1=28.71), though a classical FPN with data mixing reached F1=39.76 by removing domain shift. Results suggest quantum ML may offer advantages for high-dimensional spectral feature spaces in remote sensing.

  • Quantum-hybrid U-Net variants outperform classical baseline on wildfire segmentation
  • Data mixing to remove domain shift boosted classical FPN to F1=39.76, surpassing quantum models
  • Cross-dataset transfer on CaBuAr validates architecture robustness and generalizability
