The computer system includes a host system, a recording medium, and a digital signal decoder connected to the host system and the recording medium. The digital signal decoder receives M-bit data and generates an N-bit code word from the M-bit data. The number of consecutive bits of 1 in the code word is not larger than a first predetermined number K, and the number of consecutive bits of 0 is not larger than a second predetermined number L. When data is recorded/reproduced by a method such as NRZI (Non-Return to Zero Inverted), or the like, there is a defect in that the number of transitions of data is larger in a code with a high data encoding rate, and the run length of zero is long thereby increasing the data decoding error rate with the recording/reproducing of data. In the digital signal decoder according to the present invention, any code word includes at most 3 consecutive bits of 1, and at most 11 consecutive bits of 0, so that the data decoding error rate can be reduced.

A calculation concerning the input of a signal is removed from a branch metric calculation processing on a trellis diagram of an extended partial response class, and the calculation of branch metrics and the selection of survivor paths can be carried out by the subtraction of the survivor paths and the comparison of constants.

A transconductance control circuit is composed of a replica transconductance amplifier and resistance, a reference voltage source, first selectors, a differential amplifier, a voltage-current translate circuit with characteristics equal to the transconductance amplifier which constitutes analog filters. A first switch of the first selectors is connectable for the reference voltage source, and every constant period is made to connect it using clocks at the reference voltage source. A second switch of second selectors is connectable for plural capacitors, and every constant period is made to connect it using clocks at the capacitors.

In order to generate a sampling clock having a higher accuracy, a synchronous signal generating circuit is provided with a phase error detector, detecting a phase error of a read out signal digitized on the basis of FDTS algorithm, and a VCO, controlling an oscillation frequency on the basis of a phase error detected by the phase error detector, to generate a synchronous signal by the VCO. On the basis of the synchronous signal generated by the synchronous signal generating circuit, an ADC digitizes the read out signal. The digitized read out signal is then converted to binary data by a detection circuit.

A playback signal processing circuit for reducing decode errors and enabling high-density digital magnetic recording and a digital magnetic recording reproducing unit using the playback signal processing circuit are provided. An estimated waveform generation circuit uses the decoding result of a PRML channel to generate an ideal playback signal waveform. A subtractor provides a waveform representing a difference between the waveform and an actual playback signal. There is a high probability that error bits will occur at an interval of two or four bits because of the nature of GCR code and maximum-likelihood decoding; in the error state of each bit, one bit is incremented by one with respect to the correct bit value and the other signal bit is decremented by one. From this fact, an error detection circuit discriminates an error difference waveform pattern and an error discrimination circuit detects an error bit interval, whereby an error correction circuit carries out error bit correction.

A system for reproducing data recorded on a magnetic recording medium at high density is provided as a simple configuration. Quadripartite reproduction data is output from a Viterbi detection circuit to an adder, which then subtracts the quadripartite reproduction data from a signal before PR4-ML method data determination. An adder is used to perform a (1+D) process for the result. An error signal pattern detection circuit performs maximum likelihood estimation for an PR4-ML method detection error. Further, when a detected determination error matches an actual reproduction data string, a data correction circuit corrects the reproduction data string.

A random seed scramble for preventing the deterioration of a medium is applied to the next generation optical disk. A seed is stored to a BIS area. ID or an EDC is checked to hold interchangeability before and after scramble release. When no error is generated in data before the scramble release, it is recognized as an unscrambled disk. In contrast to this, when no error is generated in data after the scramble release, it is recognized as a scrambled disk. An information storing area showing an area to be rewritten by performing the scramble and an area to be rewritten without performing the scramble is arranged.

Points on a pair of images obtained by imaging an object are finely corresponded in order to precisely measure the three-dimensional position of the object. For this purpose, attractive forces corresponding to features of the images are calculated, and the degree of correspondence between the points on the pair of images is evaluated relying upon the magnitude of the attractive force, in order to determine the corresponding points and to calculate the position of the object relying upon the thus determined corresponding points. Further, an occluded region which contains no corresponding point is detected and is removed, in order to further improve the precision for measuring the position.
