version 0.7.3

Contains:

1. Coding and decoding matrices Generators:

   • Regular parity-check matrix using Callager’s method.

   • Coding Matrix G both non-systematic and systematic.

2. Coding function adding Additive White Gaussian Noise.

3. Decoding functions using Probabilistic Decoding (Belief propagation algorithm):

   • Default and full-log BP algorithm.

4. Images transmission sub-module:

   • Coding and Decoding Grayscale and RGB Images.

5. Sound transmission sub-module:

   • Coding and Decoding audio files.

6. Compatibility numpy ndarrays <=> scipy sparse csr format.

What’s new:

• Image and Sound modules adapt data to any LDPC code: conditions on matrices’ size are no longer needed.

• Use of large matrices (csr) in sound transmission sub-module.

• Bug in using full rank parity check matrices fixed.

In the upcoming versions:

• Library of ready-to-use large matrices (csr).

• Text Transmission functions.
