ABSTRACT:
A method of reading data from an optical disk comprises providing means for illuminating the required part of the disk and acquiring the optical image of a plurality of tracks, providing a detector matrix comprising a plurality of detectors, each of the detectors being capable of producing an output signal which is proportional to the intensity of the light detected by it causing an optical image corresponding to an illuminated area to fall on the said detector matrix, transferring the output signal of the detector matrix to image processing means, determining position coordinates of the track center for each data track, by analyzing the output signal of the said detector matrix, saving in memory means expected track center data, comprising position coordinates of the track center located by the analysis of the output signal, and if an actually detected track center is shifted with respect to the expected track center, electronically moving the track center position.
