Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Provided is an absolute encoder capable of detecting the absolute angle at high resolution and with high precision. An image sensor receives light in an absolute value code pattern of a scale, an edge detecting unit detects from the received light signal an edge pixel position and an edge direction, and an edge position correcting unit corrects the edge pixel position based on the edge direction. A phase detecting unit detects from the corrected edge pixel position the phase shift amount of a shift from a reference pixel position of the image sensor, and a high precision detection unit uses a rough absolute position detected by a rough detection unit and the phase shift amount detected by the phase detecting unit to detect the absolute position with high precision.
