Abstract

Selon la présente invention, pour chaque groupe de motifs de combinaison, une unité de détection de motifs (101) détecte que la combinaison d'une première série de transitions d'état (PA) qui a été déterminée comme étant la plus probable dans un traitement de décodage par maximum de vraisemblance et une seconde série de transitions d'état (PB) qui a été déterminée comme étant la plus probable correspond à un parmi une pluralité de motifs de combinaison alloué au groupe de motifs de combinaison concerné. Pour chaque groupe de motifs de combinaison, une unité de calcul de distance (102) calcule des différences de distance (D1, D2, D3) sur la base d'un signal de reproduction numérique (DPR) et des première et seconde séries de transitions d'état (PA, PB) en réponse à la détection par l'unité de détection de motifs (101). Une unité de sélection (104) sélectionne une des différences de distance (D1, D2, D3). Une unité d'intégration (105) génère une valeur intégrée (DD) par l'intégration de la différence de distance sélectionnée par l'unité de sélection (104). Une unité de maintien (106) maintient la valeur intégrée (DD) et un nombre de fois (NN) qui indique le nombre de fois que l'unité d'intégration (105) a intégrés.
