General Info

Reed-Solomon codes are a type of error-correcting code that operates on blocks of data. They are capable of detecting and correcting multiple symbol errors, making them invaluable in applications such as:

  • QR Codes
  • Data transmission in satellite and deep-space communication
  • Storage devices (CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays)
  • RAID storage systems

At present, only algorithms for polynomials and Galois fields are being developed. The construction of a mother class for the Reed-Solomon code will follow naturally.

Getting Started

Installation


You can use this command from PyPi:

  • pip install reedsolomon

Dependencies


Use this command in cmd if you are in a virtual environment:

  • pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage


Here is examples to use the polynomial.py file:

The galois field file:

And the reed solomon file:
