Abstract :
The authors present a family of codes that can correct two-dimensional clusters of errors of size b1×b2 , using simple parity-check codes. The new codes are n1×n2 array codes, where n1⩾2b1b2-b1, n2 ⩾2b1b2, b1 divides n1 and b2 divides n2. Simple encoding and decoding algorithms are presented
