ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are provided for simultaneously tracking multiple data tracks of an optical disk using a detector matrix formed of a plurality of pixels. Based on track pitch, pixel pitch and predetermined point spread functions of the pixels, a series of simultaneous equations based on sampled pixel data is generated and solved to determine an offset distance between a selected pixel and a selected track and corrected values of the sampled pixel data. Alternatively, the series of equations may be generated, based on sample pixel readout values and a series of weighting coefficients, such that solution of the equations enables the position of a selected track may be determined.
