Reed-Solomon encoding and decoding implementation example in Java
I need to encode and decode some text using Reed-Solomon error correction codes. Implementation should be in Java.
I have gone through Sean Owen's implementation classes but was not able to construct these classes with a working example.
Can…

how to combine different qr codes to get a new qr code
I want to have 14 different qr codes, where the white boxes are transparent. Then I print it on a transparent paper, and if I put a white paper behind it, I can scan it normally.
I want to be able to take any 2 of these 14 qr codes printed on a…

Error correction on small message (8-Bit) with high resilience, what is the best method?
I need to implement an ECC algorithm on an 8-bit message with 32 bits to work with (32, 8), being new to ECC I started to google and learn a bit about it and ended up coming across two ECC methods, Hamming codes and Reed Solomon. Given that I needed…

What is the value of the ideal value of the generator polynomial index in the Schifra library for Reed-Solomon error correcting code?
I am trying to use the the Schifra Reed-Solomon error correcting code library in a project. I have no background about how Reed-Solomon code and Galois field work. I am having trouble figuring out the ideal value of the generator_polynomial_index…

QR code generation algorithm implementation case analysis
I'm implementing a QR code generation algorithm as explained on thonky.com and I'm trying to understand one of the cases:
as stated in this page and this page I can deduct that if the code is protected with M error correction level, and the chosen…

Reed Solomon Error DETECTION capability is not 2T
I am setting up a Reed Solomon library to correct AND detect errors as the come in. For simplicity, let's look at a Reed Solomon configuration where
m(symbol size) : 8 [GF(256)]
k(user payload) : 2
2T(parity symbols): 2
Yielding a transmitted…

How to find possible errors in Reed-Solomon with only the syndrome?
I am working on an assignment for a class I am taking.
I need to give the location and magnitude of a codeword's error, if possible, for a couple given syndromes. If I can figure out the methodology on how to do it for one I could do the rest, but…

How to detect errors for Reed-Solomon Code?
I am using (7,5) Reed-Solomon Error Correction Code.
I think I can decode "correct 1 error" or "find 2 error position".
However, there is a problem. My code can not find 2 error position.
For example, the message is 1 3 5 2 1 and RS parity is 0 5.…

Error correction with small data
I'm reading some noisy images, and getting a few bits from it (21 bits).
I only need to use 15 of them, leaving me 21 - 15 = 6 bits to work with.
What I intend to do, is use it for both Checksum and error correction, however, I started digging the…

How to apply Reed-Solomon algorithm using zxing in C#
I want to transmit binary data over a noisy channel.
I read that a good ECC algorithm to detect errors is Reed-Solomon.
The problem is i don't understand the input for this algorithm.
here is my naive failed attempt with zxing.net:
int[] toEncode =…

Overhead of error correcting codes as the error rate increases
I am looking for help understanding what the overhead (# of additional symbols that need to be transmitted) is associated with error correcting codes (like reed-solomon) as the error rate that it is designed to handle increases. For instance if a…
