  Enormous activity in the Quantum Computing area has resulted in considering
them to solve different difficult problems, including those of applied nature,
together with classical computers. An attempt is made in this work to nail down
a pipeline consisting of both quantum and classical processing blocks for the
task of image classification and segmentation in a systematic fashion. Its
efficacy and utility are brought out by applying it to Surface Crack
segmentation. Being a sophisticated software engineering task, the
functionalities are orchestrated through our in-house Cognitive Model
Management framework.
