ABSTRACT:
Techniques are disclosed for encoding and decoding codes, such as bar codes, containing a plurality of features, such as bars and spaces of varying widths. In one aspect of the present invention, techniques are provided for encoding information in an arbitrary-length code using a single symbol. Techniques for encoding and decoding information using codes having features with more than two distinct values are also provided.
