BARCODE INTRODUCTION

A barcode is an optical, machine-readable, representation of data; the data usually describes something about the object that carries the barcode. Traditional barcodes systematically represented data by varying the widths and spacings of parallel lines, and may be referred to as linear or one-dimensional (1D). At that time, they were only scanned by special optical scanners called barcode readers.

Later, two-dimensional (2D) variations were developed using rectangles, dots, hexagons and other geometric patterns. They are also called matrix codes or 2D barcodes, although they do not use bars as such. Nowadays, specialized application software became available for devices that could read images, such as smartphones with in-built cameras.
