When combined with machine learning, they can analyze images quickly enough for practical applications. Solving the problem of high-dimensional single-pixel visualization can potentially be accelerated via quantum machine learning, thereby expanding the range of practical problems. In this work, we simulated a single-pixel imaging experiment using Hadamard basis patterns, where images from the MNIST handwritten digit dataset and FashionMNIST items of clothing dataset were used as objects. There were selected 64 measurements with maximum variance (6% of the number of pixels in the image). We created algorithms for classifying and reconstructing images based on these measurements using classical fully-connected neural networks and parameterized quantum circuits. Classical and quantum classifiers showed the best accuracies of 96% and 95% for MNIST and 84% and 81% for Fa...
