  • Publication number: 20240105226
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, in a disk device, a controller adjusts a correction value of a radial position of servo track according to a ratio between amplitude of a correction value spectrum of a radial position of the servo track at a first circumferential position and at a second circumferential position when positioning control of the head to a target data track is performed on a basis of servo information read from the servo track. At the first circumferential position, a relative speed of a change in the radial position of the servo track with respect to a radial position of the target data track becomes a first speed. At the second circumferential position, a relative speed of a change in the radial position of the servo track with respect to the radial position of the target data track becomes a second speed.

  • Publication number: 20230120093
    Abstract: In an object tracking device, the extraction means extracts target candidates from images in a time-series. The first setting means sets a first search range based on frame information and reliability of a target in a previous image in the time-series. The tracking means searches the target from the target candidates extracted within the first search range using the reliability indicating similarity to a target model, and tracks the target. The second setting means sets a second search range which includes the first search range and which is larger than the first search range. The model updating means updates the target model using the target candidates extracted within the first search range and the target candidates extracted within the second search range.
