Class GaliosFieldOps

java.lang.Object
boofcv.alg.fiducial.qrcode.GaliosFieldOps
public class GaliosFieldOps extends Object
Basic path operators on polynomial Galious Field (GF) with GF(2) coefficients. Polynomials are stored inside of integers with the least significant bits first. This class is primarily used to populate precomputed tables.

      public GaliosFieldOps()

  • Method Details

    • add

      public static int add(int a, int b)

    • subtract

      public static int subtract(int a, int b)

    • multiply

      public static int multiply(int a, int b)

      Multiply the two polynomials together. The technique used here isn't the fastest but is easy to understand.

      NOTE: No modulus operation is performed so the result might not be a member of the same field.

      Parameters:
      a - polynomial
      b - polynomial
      Returns:
      result polynomial

    • multiply

      public static int multiply(int x, int y, int primitive, int domain)
      Implementation of multiplication with a primitive polynomial. The result will be a member of the same field as the inputs, provided primitive is an appropriate irreducible polynomial for that field. Uses 'Russian Peasant Multiplication' that should be a faster algorithm.
      Parameters:
      x - polynomial
      y - polynomial
      primitive - Primitive polynomial which is irreducible.
      domain - Value of a the largest possible value plus 1. E.g. GF(2**8) would be 256
      Returns:
      result polynomial

    • modulus

      public static int modulus(int dividend, int divisor)

      Performs the polynomial GF modulus operation.

      result = dividend mod divisor.

    • divide

      public static int divide(int dividend, int divisor)

      Divides dividend by the divisor and returns the integer results, e.g. no remainder.

      result = dividend / divisor
      Parameters:
      dividend - number on top
      divisor - number on bottom
      Returns:
      number of times divisor goes into dividend.

    • length

      public static int length(int value)
      The bit in which the most significant non-zero bit is stored
