TL;DR: In this paper, a selective encoding technique utilizing a typical distribution of information on a document to statistically encode the detected lengths of redundant background or data information into code word representations was proposed.
Abstract: A selective encoding technique utilizing a typical distribution of information on a document to statistically encode the detected lengths of redundant background or data information into code word representations. A more frequently occurring run length will be encoded with a shorter code word than that of a lesser occurring run length. A format generator, in response to the changing run lengths presented to it, generates the necessary format levels to allow for the different code word lengths which represent the different detected run lengths.
