Abstract
An optical recognition pattern for length measurement is mounted on an optical contact surface and includes a plurality of optical recognition units, each of which corresponds to a length value. The sequence of the optical recognition units on the optical contact surface is consistent with that of the corresponding length values in such a way that the optical recognition pattern imitating the conventional measuring ruler can be constituted. Besides, the optical recognition pattern can further work with an optical recognition device to constitute a length measurement system that the optical recognition is applied to.

An optical recognition pattern for length measurement, mounted on an optical contact surface, comprising:
- a plurality of machine readable optical identification (OID) codes disposed at corresponding positions on said optical contact surface, each of which is encoded with a length value associated with its corresponding position, wherein the plurality of OID codes are sequenced on the optical contact surface according to a sequence of the length values, wherein the OID codes are sequenced to be a two dimensional (2D) array, each of the OID codes having a measuring datum containing two numeric codes, each of the OID codes having a height at a one dimensional (1D) array direction and a width at a direction perpendicular to the 1D array direction, the product of the two numeric codes and the height and the width being equal to their corresponding length value and width value respectively, the length value being equal to the actual length.
