Abstract: A magnetic head positioning apparatus for adjusting the position of a head member relative to its support member by determining the boundary lines for the edge portion of the head body and the center of the pivot in the support member. Luminance variations near the boundary line between areas different in light reflections are derivated so as to determine the position of the boundary line with a high accuracy at a distance shorter than the unit block pitch of the camera photodetectors used to detect the image of the head body and the support member.

Abstract: In detecting a boundary line between areas different in light reflectance, it has so far been impossible to specify the boundary line at a distance shorter than the arrangement pitch of photodetectors (pixels) arranged in the camera. In the present invention, luminance variations near the boundary line between areas different in light reflectance are derivated. Further, in unit blocks G corresponding to pixels and arranged in a direction (Y direction) in which the boundary line extends, derivated values of luminance for each row of unit blocks are added and then a variation curve of the added values of derivated luminance values in unit block rows is drawn to specify a peak position thereof and also specify the position of the boundary line X0. Thus, it is possible to specify the position of the boundary line with a high accuracy at a distance shorter than the unit block pitch.
